Day 1,290, 13:46 Published in New Zealand New Zealand by runningtings
Mohandas Gandhi, Pioneer of Nonviolent Protest



"Taken on the whole, I would believe that Gandhi's views were the most enlightened of all the political men of our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit: not to use violence for fighting for our cause, but by non-participation of anything you believe is evil."
- Albert Einstein, 1950

Steve Jobs, Co-Founder and CEO of Apple Inc.



"Superlatives have attached themselves to Jobs since he was a young man. Now that he's 54, merely listing his achievements is sufficient explanation of why he's Fortune's CEO of the Decade (though the superlatives continue). In the past 10 years alone he has radically and lucratively reordered three markets — music, movies, and mobile telephones — and his impact on his original industry, computing, has only grown."
- From the November 5, 2009 Fortune's piece

Nelson Mandela, Political Prisoner-Turned-South African President



"A leader is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind."
- Nelson Mandela

Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister



"He stood unchallengeable, as the greatest of all Britain's war leaders. It was not only his own country, though, that owed him a debt. So too did the world of free men and women to whom he had made a constant and inclusive appeal in his magnificent speeches from embattled Britain in 1940 and 1941."

CrusaderCarl, next eNZ Country President



"I’d like to thank every eKiwi for coming down here and making eNZ a cool place to live. I was always worried about eNZ because of the lack of RL Kiwis. I now know I didn’t need to be, it’s been really cool meeting all the different people and so thanks."
- CrusaderCarl, 2011

"I prefer CC sober, can't afford to have to apologise to people 24/7, the way he gets when drunk."
- Mortalbeta, last week
