Albums Dumbledore, Order of Merlin (first class), Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, knew what was up when it came to instilling hope in a society terrified and terrorized by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

Many decades later, the Muggle world is faced with another Dark Lord- this time in the form of President Donald Trump. The election season has been, without a doubt, extremely eventual. Racist remarks, sexist slurs, allegations of illegal activity, and crude comments have been flung back and forth faster than you can say, "WIngardium Leviosa!"

While it's necessary to process reactions and emotions following the election of President Donald Trump, it's vital to fight the urge to respond with hatred. Hatred does nothing but tear us apart, separate a united country, and pit us against one another.

What's done is done- and all that us nasty women, "illegal" immigrants and rotten religious bigots can do is move forward and fight with love, grace, and mercy.

Here are some quotes, compliments of Albus Dumbledore himself, to move us forward:

1. While we may come from different places, and speak in different tongues, our hearts beat as one.

2. Soon e must all face the choice between what is right, and what is easy.

3. It is not our abilities that show us what we truly are, it is our choices.

4. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.

5. Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light.
