While sitting outside my dorm, I once noted that a familiar quote was written on several pillars around the traditional area for smoking known as "The Cancer Hut" by most students.
When I asked a friend, he pointed out it was the Green Lantern motto, so I figured I'd post each one for pure interest.
Green Lanterns:
In Brightest Day,
In Blackest Night,
No Evil Shall Escape My Sight.
Let Those Who Worship Evil's Might
Beware My Power-- Green Lantern's Might.
*Side note: The Green Lanterns' powers are based off willpower, odd it doesn't mention this.
Star Sapphires (violet):
For hearts long lost and full of fright,
For those alone in blackest night,
Accept our ring and join our fight,
Love conquers all-- With violet light!
Red Lantern Corps:
With blood and rage of crimson red,
Ripped from the corpse so freshly dead,
Together with our hellish hate,
We'll burn you all-- That is your fate!
Sinestro Corps (Yellow):
In blackest day, in brightest night,
Beware your fears made into light,
Let those who try to stop what's right
Burn like his power-- Sinestro's might!
Blue Lantern Corps:
In fearful day, in raging night,
With strong hearts full, our souls ignite,
When all seems lost in the War of Light,
Look to the stars-- For hope burns bright!
Black Lantern Corps:
The blackest light fall from the skies,
The darkness grows as all light dies,
We crave your hearts and your demise,
By my black hand-- The dead shall rise!
Unfortunately, the Oaths for the Indigo Corps and Agent Orange (and his constructs) have yet to be spoken. Orange's is based off greed, while indigo's is in a language readers can't understand but stands for compassion.
I would like to see a Lantern Corps based off knowledge (i.e. truth, understanding) but that isn't an emotion.

I found this to be very ironic.
Pretty cool, Andrew.
