Martin Luther King Jr

“To put significance in our stories, we must also take action. Being passive may feel safe. If you do nothing, nothing can go wrong. But while inaction cannot fail, it cannot succeed either. We can wait, and hope, and wish, but if we do, we miss the stories our lives could be.”
John C. Maxwell

Had it not been for a false pride and equally false notions of prestige, Englishmen here would long ago have adopted the Indian costume.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“We do not deny any nation's legitimate interest in security. But protecting the security of one nation by robbing another of its national independence and national traditions is not legitimate. In the long run, it is not even secure.”
