8. I've seen that you can purchase posters with these on it.
I'm surprised that I hadn't seen them before.

12. Makes more sense to me than the 10 commandments since they're not religious.

15. Why can't we have another Gandhi?
And why is it that things that just make sense, like the above, have to be pointed out as being exceptionally wise?

Says a lot about humanity, don't you think?

17. Why not you? Or me? or any of us?
Gandhi had a lot of great quotes. One of my favorites: "Be the change you want to see in the world."

18. I like his reply to a question put to Ghandi by Churchill, on the occasion
of a visit by Ghandi to the UK, "Well, what do you think of Western civilisation, Mr Ghandi?"

To which Ghandi replied, "What do I think of Western civilisation? I think it would be a very good idea."
