If someone asks me when and how the struggle may end, I may say that, if the entire community manfully stands the test, the end will be near....If many of us fall back under storm and stress, the struggle will be prolonged.

A satyagrahi* must be afraid neither of imprisonment nor of deportation...He must neither mind being reduced to poverty, nor be frightened, if it comes to that, of being mashed into pulp with a mortar and pestle. ~ Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi * "Satyagrahi" is the Sanskrit word for civil disobedience.

Across the vast sweep of history, in every culture and every century, there have been men and women who 'shook things up,' leaving a lasting impact on their surroundings, their contemporaries, and history itself. They inherited one world and changed it into another.... What they all seem to possess is that at some point in their formative years, some incident, some happening, some tragedy, sometimes something trivial and transitory, transformed them and inspired them to perform memorable feats both powerful and enduring.
It is the artillery that takes the forts and the infantry that only helps. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte

We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end...We shall defend our island, whatever the cost. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills...We shall NEVER surrender. ~ Winston Churchill
Men! I do not order you to attack! I order you to die! ~ Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
