Mahatma Gandhi
Don't talk about it. The rose doesn't have to propagate its perfume. It just gives it forth, and people are drawn to it. Live it, and people will come to see the source of your power.

Mahatma Gandhi
The only force at the disposal of democracy is that of public opinion.
Mahatma Gandhi
