    Be the change you wish to see in the world

    That Mandela blokey.

    Essentially, instead of being the person that sits and complains about something, get out there and do something about it. Be the good example to others.

    A few on here could learn something from that (myslef included).

    Never trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and doesnt die

    I think it was related to a serious bout of PMT

    "Rosa sat, so Martin could walk, so Obama could run, so our children can fly"

    Just encompasses for me how in only 3 generations oppression and segregation can be overcome in society if we try. Also very apt in the light of last nights shocking election result. We've come along way as a human race but theres a long way left to go

    On the Frecnch: "...intolerably foolish...

    ...they are so dreadfully afraid of being swallowed by the tiger that they spend all their time poking it."

    Probably an apt one today

    "When you teach a man to hate and fear his brother, when you teach that he is a lesser man because of his color or his beliefs or the policies he pursues, when you teach that those who differ from you threaten your freedom or your job or your family, then you also learn to confront others not as fellow citizens but as enemies, to be met not with cooperation but with conquest; to be subjugated and mastered." - Robert Kennedy, 1968.

    First came across it on the film "Bobby" when it played the complete speech
