“Love when you can
Cry when you have to…
Be who you must
That's a part of the plan
Await your arrival
With simple survival
And one day we'll all understand…”

“Perhaps we should warn you that there is one thing you won’t read, and that is a pat answer for the problems of life.”

Edward R. Murrow (1908–1965) Television journalist

This I Believe (1951)
Context: Perhaps we should warn you that there is one thing you won’t read, and that is a pat answer for the problems of life. We don’t pretend to make this a spiritual or psychological patent-medicine chest where one can come and get a pill of wisdom, to be swallowed like an aspirin, to banish the headaches of our times.
