“The glass is not half empty; it is half full.”
Ronald Reagan

“The only weapon that we have in our hands this evening is the weapon of protest. That's all.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“It is impossible in this body to follow ahimsa fully. Violence is inescapable. While the eyes wink and nails have to be pared, violence in one form or another is unavoidable.

Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”
Martin Luther King Jr

Albert Einstein

“Happiness is not a feeling, it is a choice. To be happy, one must choose to be happy, not respond to a circumstance that now controls your happiness.”
