Mahatma Gandhi

“there is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It is why you where born and how you become most truly alive”
Oprah Winfrey

“Not ordinarily do men achieve this balance of opposites. The idealists are not usually realistic, and the realists are not usually idealistic. The militant are not generally known to be passive, nor the passive to be militant. Seldom are the humble self-assertive, or the self assertive humble. ...truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis that reconciles the two.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Leave no authority existing not responsible to the people.”
Thomas Jefferson

Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi

“At that moment it meant nothing to him who might be standing over him, or what was said of him; he was only glad that people were standing near him and only wished that they would help him and bring him back to life, which seemed to him so beautiful now that he had today learned to understand it so differently.”
Leo Tolstoy

Barack Obama
