Variant: We must discover the power of love, the power, the redemptive power of love. And when we discover that we will be able to make of this old world a new world. We will be able to make men better. Love is the only way.

And when we discover that we will be able to make of this old world a new world. We will be able to make men better. Love is the only way.
