Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

“When day comes we ask ourselves,
\nwhere can we find light in this never-ending shade?
\n. . .
\nWe’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace
\n. . .
\nBut while democracy can be periodically delayed
\nit can never be permanently defeated
\nIn this truth
\nin this faith we trust
\nFor while we have our eyes on the future
\nhistory has its eyes on us
\n. . .
\nWe will not march back to what was
\nbut move to what shall be
\nA country that is bruised but whole,
\nbenevolent but bold,
\nfierce and free
\nWe will not be turned around
\nor interrupted by intimidation
\nbecause we know our inaction and inertia
\nwill be the inheritance of the next generation
\nOur blunders become their burdens
\nBut one thing is certain:
\nIf we merge mercy with might,
\nand might with right,
\nthen love becomes our legacy
\nand change our children’s birthright
\nSo let us leave behind a country
\nbetter than the one we were left with
\n. . .
\nThe new dawn blooms as we free it
\nFor there is always light,
\nif only we’re brave enough to see it
\nIf only we’re brave enough to be it<\/em>” — Amanda Gorman<\/strong>, 2021 inaugural poem<\/p>\n
