== True Heroes ==
-I especially admire these people of our times for how they inspired us to make the world a better place:
-
* Gandhi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhi
- "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
-
"There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for."
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
"Taken on the whole, I would believe that Gandhi's views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time."
-
-And this guy lived in the distant past, but his thought strikes me as
-more modern than most of us:
-
* 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."
