For London 

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in the old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are,
One equal-temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

*Ulysses
Alfred Lord Tennyson*
*Note:* This was sent to me by a very close friend of mine upon hearing of 
the bombings in London. Speaking as a Londoner (in location and technically 
in fact), we will not yield, we will be strong. Our thoughts and prayers go 
out to all the people involved and to the families of those who have been 
killed or injured. Be strong and have faith, the people that did this will 
not escape justice and they will not make us weak. ~Liz
