"You sound like a fool. You don't even know his name."

For a name matters not.
To me, he is King,
Braving the storm with
Great might and fury,
Changing the stars as he rides.
He will return upon the rising sun,
Pulling ocean waves behind him,
And brighter days to come.

Love is giving me wings and I must fly

"They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom."

Fear no mortal man, only things that can damn the soul. There's always hope for a better world and community. The resilient must face the storm and hold strong.

There is still a dream worth fighting for.

When risks are taken, one must accept what the failure includes, not just the reward.

The arrogant will remain foolish if he does not understand the value of loyalty.
