We who are crushed to earth with heavy chains, who travel a weary, rugged, thorny road, groping through midnight darkness on earth, earn our right to enjoy the sunshine in the great hereafter.

The light that is denied us here should grow into a flood of effulgence beyond the dark, mysterious shadows of death.
Elizabeth Keckley
