A good head and good heart

A good head and good heart

 are always a formidable combination.

 But when you add to that a literate 

tongue or pen, then you have

 something very special

Nelson Mandela

Every man must decide

Every man must decide

 whether he will walk in the light

 of creative altruism 

or in the darkness of 

destructive selfishness.

Martin Luther King Jr

Our life of poverty is as necessary

Our life of poverty is as necessary

 as the work itself.

 Only in heaven will we see

 how much we owe to the poor 

for helping us to love God better

 because of them.

Mother Teresa

I wear the national dress

I wear the national dress 

because it is the most 

natural and the most

 becoming for an Indian.

Gandhi ji

One needs to be slow

One needs to be slow 

to form convictions,

 but once formed they must be

 defended against the heaviest odds

Gandhi ji

Let us not be satisfied

Let us not be satisfied 

with just giving money. 

Money is not enough, money can be got,

 but they need your hearts 

to love them. So

 spread your love everywhere you go.

Mother Teresa

There is no passion to be found

There is no passion to be found

 playing small 

in settling for a life

 that is less than the one

 you are capable of living.

Nelson Mandela

Freedom is never voluntarily

Freedom is never voluntarily 

given by the oppressor

it must be demanded

 by the oppressed.

Martin Luther King Jr

Nothing in all the world

Nothing in all the world is more 

dangerous than sincere ignorance 

and conscientious stupidity.

Martin Luther King Jr

I learned that courage

I learned that courage was not 

the absence of fear, 

but the triumph over it.

 The brave man is not he who does not

 feel afraid, 

but he who conquers that fear

Nelson Mandela

We ourselves feel that what we are doing

We ourselves feel that what we are doing 

is just a drop in the ocean. 

But the ocean would be less

 because of that missing drop.

Mother Teresa

It is better to be violent

It is better to be violent,

 if there is violence in our hearts,

 than to put on the cloak of nonviolence

 to cover impotence.

Gandhi ji

The weak can never forgive

The weak can never forgive. 

Forgiveness is an 

attribute of the strong

Gandhi ji

Earth provides enough

Earth provides enough

 to satisfy every man's needs, 

but not every man's greed

Gandhi ji

There is no easy walk

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, 

and many of us will have to pass through the valley

 of the shadow of death again and again before 

we reach the mountaintop of our desires.

Nelson Mandela

When a man is denied the right

When a man is denied the right 

to live the life he believes in,

 he has no choice but to become an outlaw

Nelson Mandela

God, our Creator

God, our Creator, has stored within our minds 

and personalities, great potential strength

 and ability. Prayer helps us tap

 and develop these powers.

APJ Abdul Kalam

A "No" uttered from the deepest conviction

A "No" uttered from the deepest conviction 

is better than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, 

or worse, to avoid trouble

Gandhi ji

Happiness is when what you think

Happiness is when what you think,

 what you say, and 

what you do are in harmony

Gandhi ji

If we have no peace

If we have no peace, 

it is because we have forgotten

 that we belong to each other.

Mother Teresa
