"Be the change you
are trying to create." (Mahatma Gandhi)
"If you would retain
freedom, see that all governments you set up remain
always your servants and never become your masters. See that no politician,
no matter what his creed, ever sets up a private political army, no matter what
coloured shirt he wants to put on it." (Captain R.G. Cavell, Indian Army,
speech to the Empire Club of Canada, 2 February 1939)
