Future Principles

From Babylon 5 "The Paragon of Animals" G'kar's draft of the Interstellar Alliance's Declaration of Principles: "The universe speaks in many languages, but only on voice. The language is not Narn, or Human, or Centauri, or Gaim or Minbarri" It speaks in the language of hope It speaks in the language of trust It speaks in the language of strength and the language of compassion It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul But always it is the same voice It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born It is the small, still voice that says We are one No matter the blood No matter the skin No matter the world No matter the star. We are one No matter the pain No matter the darkness No matter the loss No matter the fear We are one Here, gathered together in common cause, we agree to recognize the singular truth and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one. We are one."
