Love Triumphs!

... Hatred is small and hideous;

love alone is great, and love alone is beautiful...

... Hatred is a darkness that closes the soul upon darkness, and with it the soul closes upon darknesses... Love alone is light; in love the soul lives in a light that the worm-eaten conscience of hatred never knows...

Hatred is weakness... love alone is strength...

Hatred has fought on every front, and it has always been routed.

Hatred has never conquered anyone... love conquers it always. And whoever works by hatred, the black vipers devour his heart!

And whoever works by love, his heart is lit with peace of mind, with goodness, and with truth...

And the youth of Lebanon, who enter with history into a battle for the sake of the good — this youth will not darken its conscience with hatred; the black vipers will not devour its heart; nor will it write its letters with the hiss of poisoned hatred in them.

For the word is blessed, and the letter is light and freedom...

The youth of Lebanon, the comrades of Ghassan Tueni, will not do wrong to themselves and to their nation... for hatred is a wrong...

By love they will conquer and prevail.

Love alone is great and strong.
