Dear God, I pray that I shall never falter fighting for our way of living, for my ideals. And, O Lord, when the battle is over, I beseech Thee give me strength to heal all scars and wash all hatred from my soul. Bring, dear God, understanding and peace of mind to me and my recent enemy which shall mean peace and contentment for all the world. Amen.
– Joe E. Brown (July 28, 1891- July 6, 1973)
