With the deepest respect for the religious beliefs of all Alaskans, I offer the following reading from the Dhammapada. Never does hatred cease by hating in return; only through love can hatred come to an end. Victory breeds hatred; the conquered dwell in sorrow and resentment. They who give up all thought of victory or defeat may be calm and live happily at peace. Let us overcome violence by gentleness. Let us overcome evil by good. Let us overcome the miserly by generosity. Let us overcome the liar by truth. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Josephson. 2013-03-04 House Journal Page 0428 CERTIFICATION OF THE JOURNAL Representative Pruitt moved and asked unanimous consent that the ththth journal for the 46, 47, and 48 legislative days be approved as certified by the Chief Clerk.
