== True Heroes ==
-I especially admire these people of our times for how they inspired us to make the world a better place:
+ * General Executive Board Report and Proceedings [of The] Biennial Convention, Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, 1914
- * Gandhi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhi
+ "First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you"
- "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
+ * Gandhi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhi
"There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for."
The "I have a dream..." speech: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PAKnMLPus1M
+ * Albert Einstein
+
+ "I only know one race: the human one."
+
+ "Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind."
-And this guy lived in the distant past, but his thought strikes me as
-more modern than most of us:
+ "Taken on the whole, I would believe that Gandhi's views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time."
* Socrates - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates
"I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world."
+ (pretty modern mindset, eh?)
"I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance."
