Sometimes our best is simply not enough.... We have to do what is required.
Winston Churchill

They will fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water would be taxed in India.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
Winston Churchill
Image
The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we’re spirits—not animals…. There’s something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.
