CHAPTER 1. GERONIMO

Chiricahua Apache. (1829-1909)

Born June 16, 1829, Geronimo was the son of Tablishim

and Juana of the Bedonkohe band of the Apache. Geronimo

was raised according to Apache tradition and lived along the

Gila River in present-day Arizona. Upon coming of age, hemarried Alope of the Chiricauhua Apache and the couple had

three children. On March 5, 1858, while he was away on a

trading expedition, Geronimo's camp near Janos was

attacked by 400 Sonoran soldiers led by Colonel Jose Maria

Carrasco. In the fighting, Geronimo's wife, children, and

mother were killed. The incident sparked a life-long hatred of

the white man.

To the Apaches, Geronimo embodied the very essence of

the Apache values, agressiveness, courage in the face of

difficulty. These qualities inspired fear in the settlers of

Arizona and New Mexico. The Chiricahuas were mostly

migratory following the seasons, hunting and farming. When

food was scarce, it was the custom to raid neighboring tribes.

Raids and vengeance were an honorable way of life among

the tribes of this region.

By the time American settlers began arriving in the area,

the Spanish had become entrenched in the area, they were

always looking for Indian slaves and Christian converts. It


6/67

was the Spanish who raided and killed Geronimo's young

wife and child and reportedly caused such a hatred of the

whites that he vowed to kill as many as he could.

In 1876, the U.S. Army tried to move the Chiricahuas onto

a reservation, but Geronimo fled to Mexico eluding the troops

for over a decade. Sensationalized press reports exaggerated

Geronimo's activities, making him the most feared and

infamous Apache. The last few months of the campaign

required over 5,000 soldiers and 500 scouts to track down

Geronimo and his band.

Geronimo finally surrendered on the urging of his

followers in September after the Army promised that after a

period of time he would be able to return to Arizona.

Geronimo and his followers were shipped to St. Augustine,

Florida where many died from malaria or tuberculosis.

Geronimo never again saw his beloved Arizona and died a

prisioner many years later on a reservation in Oklahoma.

GERONIMO’S REMAINS MISTERY

In 1918, according to legend, members of the secret Skull

and Bones club at Yale (including, allegedly, former

President George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush)

dug up Geronimo's grave when a group of Army volunteers

from Ivy League school was stationed at Fort Sill during


7/67

World War I. The grave robbers took Geronimo's skull and

some of his bones.

On the 99th anniversary of Geronimo's death a group of

20 of the warrior's decendants sued the U.S. government,

Skull and Bones and Yale in an attempt to rebury their

ancestor's bones near his birthplace.

In 2010 Judge Richard Roberts granted a Justice

Department motion to dismiss the suit. Geronimo's relatives,

he said, failed to establish that the government waived its

right not to be sued. Roberts also dismissed the lawsuit

against Skull and Bones and Yale, saying the plaintiffs cited a

law that applies only to Native American cultural items

excavated or discovered after 1990.

Though Skull and Bones is often known as a Yale

organization, the college has never officially recognized it.

When President George W. Bush was asked on "Meet The

Press" about Skull and Bones he said, "it's so secret we can't

talk about it."

Geronimo's great-grandson Harlyn Geronimo said his

family believes Skull and Bones members took some of the

remains in 1918 from a burial plot in Fort Sill, Okla., to keep

in its New Haven clubhouse, a crypt. The alleged

graverobbing is a longstanding legend that gained some

validity in recent years with the discovery of a letter from a

club member that described the theft.


8/67

"I believe strongly from my heart that his spirit was never

released," Harlyn Geronimo said.

Harlyn Geronimo, 61, wants those remains and any held

by the federal government turned over to the family so they

can be reburied near the Indian leader's birthplace in

southern New Mexico's Gila Wilderness.

Their lawsuit also names President Barack Obama,

Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Army Secretary Pete

Geren as defendants.

"I want them to understand we mean business," said

Harlyn Geronimo, who lives in New Mexico. "We're very

serious. We're tired of waiting and we're coming after them."

Neither members of Skull and Bones, who closely guard

their secrecy, nor the Russell Trust Association, the

organization's business arm for tax purposes, could not be

reached for comment.

BEST QUOTES FROM GERONIMO

The soldiers never explained to the government when

an Indian was wronged, but reported the misdeeds of

the Indians.

I was warmed by the sun, rocked by the winds and

sheltered by the trees as other Indian babes.


9/67

I was living peaceably when people began to speak bad

of me.

Now I can eat well, sleep well and be glad. I can go

everywhere with a good feeling.

The soldiers never explained to the government when

an Indian was wronged, but reported the misdeeds of

the Indians.

We took an oath not to do any wrong to each other or

to scheme against each other.

I cannot think that we are useless or God would not

have created us.

When a child, my mother taught me to kneel and prayto Usen for strength, health, wisdom and protection.

Sometimes we prayed in silence, sometimes each one

prayed aloud; sometimes an aged person prayed for all

of us... and to Usen.

I was born on the prairies where the wind blew free

and there was nothing to break the light of the sun. I

was born where there were no enclosures.


10/67

I cannot think that we are useless or God would not

have created us. There is one God looking down on us

all. We are all the children of one God. The sun, the

darkness, the winds are all listening to what we have to

say.

I was no chief and never had been, but because I had

been more deeply wronged than others, this honor was

conferred upon me, and I resolved to prove worthy of

the trust.

While living I want to live well.

CHAPTER 2. ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Abraham Lincoln (Abe) was born Sunday, February 12,

1809, in a log cabin near Hodgenville, Kentucky. He was the son

of Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, and he was named for his

paternal grandfather. Thomas Lincoln was a carpenter and

farmer. Both of Abraham's parents were members of a Baptistcongregation which had separated from another church due to

opposition to slavery.

When Abraham was seven, the family moved to southern

Indiana. Abraham had gone to school briefly in Kentucky and

did so again in Indiana. He attended school with his older sister,

Sarah (his younger brother, Thomas, had died in infancy). In

1818 Nancy Hanks Lincoln died from milk sickness, a disease

obtained from drinking the milk of cows which had grazed on

poisonous white snakeroot. Thomas Lincoln remarried the next

year, and Abraham loved his new stepmother, Sarah Bush

Johnston Lincoln. She brought three children of her own into the

household. Abraham attended school at irregular intervals. In all

he spent less than 12 months going to school, and he didn't

attend college at all.

As Abraham grew up, he loved to read and preferred learning

to working in the fields. This led to a difficult relationship with

his father who was just the opposite. Abraham was constantly

borrowing books from the neighbors.


12/67

In 1828 Abraham's sister, who had married Aaron Grigsby in

1826, died during childbirth. Later in the year, Abraham made a

flatboat trip to New Orleans. In 1830 the Lincolns moved west to

Illinois.

The next year Lincoln made a second flatboat trip to New

Orleans. Afterwards he moved to New Salem, Illinois, where he

lived until 1837. While there he worked at several jobs including

operating a store, surveying, and serving as postmaster. Heimpressed the residents with his character, wrestled the town

bully, and earned the nickname "Honest Abe." Lincoln, who

stood nearly 6-4 and weighed about 180 pounds, saw brief

service in the Black Hawk War, and he made an unsuccessful

run for the Illinois legislature in 1832. He ran again in 1834,

1836, 1838, and 1840, and he won all four times. Lincoln was a

member of the Whig Party; he remained a Whig until 1856 when

he became a Republican. Additionally, he studied law in his

spare time and became a lawyer in 1836. Stories that Lincoln had

a romance with a pretty girl named Ann Rutledge may well be

true. Sadly, Ann died in 1835.

In Springfield in 1839 Lincoln met Mary Todd. Three years

later they were married and over the next 11 years had four

children: Robert (1843-1926), Edward ("Eddie") 1846-1850,

William ("Willie") 1850-1862, and Thomas ("Tad") 1853-1871.

Lincoln became a successful attorney, and the family bought a

home at the corner of Eighth and Jackson in 1844.


13/67

In 1846 Lincoln ran for the United States House of

Representatives and won. While in Washington he became

known for his opposition to the Mexican War and to slavery. He

returned home after his term and resumed his law practice more

seriously than ever. Early in 1851 Lincoln's father died.

Lincoln's declining interest in politics was renewed by the

passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854. He made an

unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate but received some supportfor the Republican vice-presidential nomination in 1856. Also, in

1856 Lincoln gave his Lost Speech. He opposed the Dred Scott

decision in 1857 and gave his famous "House Divided" Speech

on June 16, 1858. Additionally, he engaged in a series of debates

with Stephen A. Douglas in 1858. Lincoln was against the spread

of slavery into the territories but was not an abolitionist. Douglas

won the Senatorial race, but Lincoln gained national recognition.

In 1860 he furthered his national reputation with a successful

speech at the Cooper Institute in New York.

Although William Seward was the pre-convention favorite

for the Republican presidential nomination in 1860, Lincoln won

on the third ballot. With Hannibal Hamlin as his running mate,

Lincoln was elected the 16th president on November 6, 1860,

defeating Douglas, John Bell, and John C. Breckinridge.

In February of 1861 the Lincolns left by train for

Washington, D.C. The president-elect was now wearing a beard

at the suggestion of an 11-year-old girl. Lincoln was sworn in on

March 4, 1861.


14/67

After Lincoln's election, many Southern states, fearing

Republican control in the government, seceded from the Union.

Lincoln faced the greatest internal crisis of any U.S. president.

After the fall of Ft. Sumter, Lincoln raised an army and decided

to fight to save the Union from falling apart. Initially, Lincoln

anticipated a short conflict; he called for 75,000 volunteers to

serve for three months. Despite enormous pressures, loss of life,

battlefield setbacks, bickering among his Cabinet members,generals who weren't ready to fight, assassination threats, etc.,

Lincoln stuck with this pro-Union policy for four long years of

Civil War. On January 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation

went into effect. This was Lincoln's declaration of freedom for

all slaves in the areas of the Confederacy not under Union

control. Also, on November 19, 1863, Lincoln gave his famous

Gettysburg Address which dedicated the battlefield there to the

soldiers who had perished. He called on the living to finish the

task the dead soldiers had begun.

Lincoln's domestic policies included support for the

Homestead Act. This act allowed poor people in the East to

obtain land in the West. Also, Lincoln signed legislation entitled

the National Banking Act which established a national currency

and provided for the creation of a network of national banks. In

addition, he signed tariff legislation that offered protection to

American industry and signed a bill that chartered the first

transcontinental railroad. Lincoln's foreign policy was geared

toward preventing foreign intervention in the Civil War.


15/67

In 1864 Ulysses S. Grant was named general-in-chief of the

armies of the United States. The South was slowly being worn

down. Lincoln was reelected president with Andrew Johnson as

his running mate. Lincoln defeated the Democrat George

McClellan on November 8, 1864. On April 9, 1865, General

Robert E. Lee surrendered to Grant. Two days later Lincoln

addressed a crowd outside the White House. Among other

things, he suggested he would support voting rights for certain blacks. This infuriated a racist and Southern sympathizer who

was in the audience: the actor John Wilkes Booth who hated

everything the president stood for.

On Good Friday, April 14, 1865, the Lincolns attended a play

entitled Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre. During the

performance Booth arrived at the theater, entered the State Box

from the rear, and shot the president in the back of his head at

about 10:15 P.M. Lincoln was carried across the street to the

Petersen House where he passed away the next day at 7:22 A.M.

This was the first presidential assassination in American history,

and the nation mourned its leader. His death was the result of the

deep divisions and hatreds of the times. Lincoln's body was

taken to Springfield by train, and he was buried in the Lincoln

Tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery on May 4, 1865. Because of the

assassination, Reconstruction took place without Lincoln's

guidance and leadership.

CHAPTER 3. BRUCE LEE

The Chinese American actor Bruce Lee, was born in San

Francisco on November 27, 1940. Born a sickly child, he was

named Li Jun Fan a female name by his mother to ward off

evil spirits. His dad an Hong Kong opera singer returned backto Hong Kong along with his family in 1941.

As a kid martial arts and bodybuilding were his only

preoccupation, studies didn’t interest him. In 1946 he

appeared in first of many films as a child actor. He

appeared in 20 movies and rarely in school. He soon

became involved with a gang and his mother shipped him

back to America before his 18th birthday so he could claim

his dual-citizenship and avoid winding up in jail.

He soon picked up a job teaching the Wing Chun style

of martial arts that he had learned in Hong Kong. Lee also

studied philosophy at the University of Washington, at the

same time acquiring his considerable skills in the martial

arts like karate, kung-fu, and so on. Shortly after, Lee

landed his first US show-biz role -- Kato in The Green

Hornet, A 1966-67 TV superhero drama from the creators

of Batman. However, Lee could not get Hollywood to


22/67

embrace him and hence returned to Hong Kong to make

films.

He made the Fists of Fury (1971), his martial arts debut.Almost immediately, he became a cult figure, and the

world-wide martial arts phenomenon was under way. The

plots of all films he made were uniform: Lee makes a vow

not to fight; people close to Lee are exploited and Lee kills

in retaliation. The films set box-office records in Asia and

Hollywood finally gave him an action movie. But Lee died

a month before the release of his first US film Enter the

Dragon, considered the king of Kung – Fu movies. During

the filming of Game of Death Lee died mysteriously of

brain edema.

CHAPTER 4. M AHATMA G ANDHI

Gandhi's full name was Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

He was born on October 2, 1869 in a town called

Poxbandar, Gujarat. He was the architect of India's freedom

and one of the greatest men of this century. Mahatma

Gandhi's life was dedicated to the ideals of truth, non-

violence and love.

Gandhi was known for his commitment to total

nonviolence as the cornerstone of civil disobedience. He

was known for inspiring such monumental leaders like

Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon, and even President

Barack Obama. But perhaps India’s Mohandas

Karamchand Gandhi, also known as Mahatma Gandhi, is

remembered best for his commitment to truth andsimplicity in how he lived his life — characteristics

emulated even now by people across the world.

Gandhi, or Bapu (father), was a Hindu devotee who

dedicated his life to satya, or the pursuit of truth. He

believed that love, respect, and truth were the

underpinnings of all religions and the basic foundation for a

moral life. As he famously once said when asked if he was

a Hindu, “Yes I am. I am also a Christian, a Muslim, a


29/67

Buddhist and a Jew.” With the indomitable spirit of Gandhi

in mind, we’ve chosen some of his most inspiring quotes

from our own virtual library to share with you. Clickthrough our Gandhi quotes gallery to find your own

inspiration for simple, truthful, and peaceful living.

Love never claims, it ever gives; love never suffers, never

resents, never revenges itself. Where there is love there is

life; hatred leads to destruction.

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily

admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have

a heart without words than words without a heart.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then

they fight you, then you win.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an

ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and

what you do are in harmony.

You must be the change you want to see in the world.

I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but

today it means getting along with people.

A small body of determined spirits fired by an

unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the

course of history.

In a gentle way, you can shake the world.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the

service of others.

Action expresses priorities.

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even

destroy this body, but you will never imprison my

mind.


32/67

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It

comes from an indomitable will.

Poverty is the worst form of violence.

Man can never be a woman’s equal in the spirit of

selfless service with which nature has endowed her.

The only tyrant I accept in this world is the ‘still

small voice’ within me. And even though I have to

face the prospect of being a minority of one, I humbly

believe I have the courage to be in such a hopeless

minority.

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is

better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

To believe in something, and not to live it, isdishonest.


33/67

The difference between what we do and what we are

capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the

world’s problem.

Increase of material comforts, it may be generally

laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce

to moral growth.

Healthy discontent is the prelude to progress.

It is the quality of our work which will please Godand not the quantity.

Fear has its use but cowardice has none.

Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal

of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being.

Common sense is the realised sense of proportion.

Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living

and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply


34/67


35/67

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and

one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to

worry about anything whatsoever.

Those who know how to think need no teachers.

CHAPTER 5. NELSON M ANDELA

Nelson Mandela, the first democratically elected

president of South Africa and a Noble Peace Prize

laureate, died on December 5, 2013 aged 95. Mandela spent

27 years in jail for his struggle against South Africa's

system of racial segregation known as apartheid. Freed

from prison in 1990, he became president four years later,

and left office after serving only one term, a rare gesture in

African politics.

The internationally beloved statesman had an impressive

way with words. One of his most famous quotes comes

from a defiant speech he made in court during his Rivonia

treason trial in 1964, in which he said:

I have fought against white domination, and I havefought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal

of a democratic and free society in which all persons live

together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an

ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But, if need

be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.

Apart from his Rivonia trial speech, Mandela leaves

behind many memorable and wise quotes made throughout

his life. Despite his passing, he continues to speak to the


37/67

world through Twitter users, who have reacted to news of

his death by sharing his words.

BEST QUOTES FROM M ANDELA

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can

use to change the world.

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.

A good head and a good heart are always a formidable

combination.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front,

especially when you celebrate victory when nice things

occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then

people will appreciate your leadership.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that

goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that

goes to his heart.


38/67

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but

to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom

of others.

If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to

work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.

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.

It always seems impossible until its done.

There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many

of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadowof death again and again before we reach the

mountaintop of our desires.

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are

many more hills to climb.

There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than

the way in which it treats its children.


39/67

In my country we go to prison first and then become

President.

We must use time wisely and forever realize that the

time is always ripe to do right.

Never, never and never again shall it be that this

beautiful land will again experience the oppression of

one by another.

I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing,

whether it comes from a black man or a white man.

If the United States of America or Britain is having

elections, they don't ask for observers from Africa or

from Asia. But when we have elections, they want

observers.

A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and

thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side

must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't

have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and

uninformed.

Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will.


40/67

There is nothing like returning to a place that remains

unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have

altered.

Does anybody really think that they didn't get what they

had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or

the endurance or the commitment?

Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.

I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.

Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a

human achievement.

If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there

are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads

could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.

Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by howmany times I fell down and got back up again.

I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a

sinner who keeps on trying.


41/67

Hating clouds the mind. It gets in the way of

strategy. Leaders cannot afford to hate.

If they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love,

for love comes more naturally to the human heart

than its opposite.

No one is born hating.

Courageous people do not fear forgiving for the

sake of peace.

You will achieve more in this world through acts of

mercy than you will through acts of retribution.

Sport can awaken hope where there was previously

only despair.

Lead from the back — and let others believe theyare in front.

It always seem impossible until it's done.


42/67

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid,

but he who conquers that fear.

Honour belongs to those who never forsake the

truth, even when things seem dark and grim.

For to be free is not to merely cast off one's chains,

but to live in a way that respects and enhances the

freedom of others.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you

can use to change the world.

It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one

has been inside its jails.

When a man has done what he considers to be his

duty to his people & his country, he can rest in

peace.

I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that

comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of

being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed

toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There


43/67

were many dark moments when my faith in

humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and

could not give myself up to despair. That way laysdefeat and death.

No, no, no, everything is all right. I have regular

medical check-ups and they say I won’t die this

week.

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.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in

front, especially when you celebrate victory whennice things occur. You take the front line when

there is danger. Then people will appreciate your

leadership.

It can be said that there are four basic and primary

things that the mass of people in a society wish for:

to live in a safe environment, to be able to work and

provide for themselves, to have access to good


44/67

public health and to have sound educational

opportunities for their children.

A critical, independent and investigative press is the

lifeblood of any democracy. The press must be free

from state interference. It must have the economic

strength to stand up to the blandishments of

government officials. It must have sufficient

independence from vested interests to be bold and

inquiring without fear or favour. It must enjoy the

protection of the constitution, so that it can protect

our rights as citizens.

For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains,

but to live in a way that respects and enhances the

freedom of others.

No one is born hating another person because of the

color of his skin, or his background, or his religion.

People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to

hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes

more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

CHAPTER 6. MOTHER THERESA

Mother Teresa was born in Uskub, Ottoman Empire on

August 26, 1910. This city is now called Skopje and is the

capital of the Republic of Macedonia. Her birth name was Agnes

Gonxha Bojaxhiu. Her father died when she was eight and she

was raised by her mother. She was raised as a Roman Catholic

and decided to devote her life to God at a young age. She joined

the Sisters of Loreto at the age of 18 to become a missionary to

India. She first had to learn English. So she went to Ireland to

learn English at the Loreto Abby.A year later she started her missionary work in Darjeeling,

India. She learned the local language, Bengali, and taught at the

local school. She soon took her first vows as a nun and took the

name Teresa. She would teach for many years in India becoming

the headmistress at a school in eastern Calcutta.

When she was 36 years old she felt the call from God to help

the poor of India. She received some basic medical training and

then set out to help the sick and needy. This wasn't an easy task

in 1948 India. She had very little support and, while trying to

feed and help the poorest of the poor, she herself was constantly

hungry and even had to beg for food.

Soon other women joined her and she formed the

Missionaries of Charity. Mother Teresa described the purpose of

the Missionaries of Charity as an organization to take care of


46/67

"the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the

lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for

throughout society, people that have become a burden to the

society and are shunned by everyone". Wow! She had some lofty

goals and considering where she was at the start (see above

paragraph where she was starving), she accomplished some

amazing things. The Missionaries of Charity originally had 13

members. Today they have over 4,000 nuns who care for people just like Mother Teresa described all over the world.

It wasn't an easy task to build such an organization and to

keep the focus on the poorest people. She worked almost up until

her death on September 5, 1997.

BEST QUOTES FROM MOTHER THERESA

The fruit of SILENCE is prayer.

The fruit of PRAYER is faith.

The fruit of FAITH is love.

The fruit of LOVE is service.

The fruit of SERVICE is peace.

Peace begins with a smile...

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of

love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.


47/67

The person who gives with a smile is the best giver

because God loves a cheerful giver.

Let us make one point, that we meet each other with

a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each

other, make time for each other in your family.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the

smile is the beginning of love.

Smile at each other. Smile at your wife, smile at

your husband, smile at your children, smile at each

other- it doesn’t matter who it is - and that will help

to grow up in greater love for each other.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it

hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to

remove than the hunger for bread.

It’s not how much we give but how much love we

put into giving.

At the end of life we will not be judged by how

many diplomas we have received, how much money


48/67

we have made, how many great things we have done.

We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave

me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed

me. I was homeless, and you took me in.

I’m a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who

is sending a love letter to the world.

What can you do to promote world peace? Go home

and love your family.

Love to be real, it must cost — it must hurt — it must

empty us of self.

Go out into the world today and love the people you

meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts

of people.

I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a

stone across the waters to create many ripples.

We know only too well that what we are doing is

nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the

drop were not there, the ocean would be missing

something.


49/67

A life not lived for others is not a life.

I can do things you cannot, you can do things I

cannot; together we can do great things.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing

the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so

much, for so long, with so little, we are now

qualified to do anything with nothing.

Let nothing perturb you, nothing frighten you. All things

pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything.

God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that

you try

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then

there is no hurt, but only more love.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just

wish that He didn't trust me so much.


50/67

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that

we belong to each other.

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

If you find serenity and happiness, some people may be

jealous. Be happy anyway.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy

to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to

relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of

someone unloved in our home. Bring love into your home

for this is where our love for each other must start.

It's not how much we give, but how much love we put into

giving.

Joy is prayer - Joy is strength - Joy is love - Joy is a net oflove by which you can catch souls.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their

echoes are truly endless.


51/67

Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and

happier.

The good you do today, people will often forget

tomorrow; Do good anyway.

The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved.

There are many in the world dying for a piece of bread,

but there are many more dying for a little love.

We can do no great things; only small things with great

love.

What we do is less than a drop in the ocean. But if it were

missing, the ocean would lack something.

Whether one is Hindu or a Muslim or a Christian, how

you live your life is proof that you are or not fully His. We

cannot condemn or judge or pass words that will hurt people. We don't know in what way God is appearing to

that soul and what God is drawing that soul to; therefor,

who are we to condemn anybody?


52/67

Please choose the way of peace. ... In the short term there

may be winners and losers in this war that we all dread.

But that never can, nor never will justify the suffering,

pain and loss of life your weapons will cause.


53/67

CHAPTER 7. SOEKARNO

Soekarno (or Soekarno), was born as Kusno Sosrodihardjo (6

June 1901 – 21 June 1970). He was the first President of

Indonesia (from 1945 to 1967). Soekarno was the leader of

Indonesia’s struggle for independence from the Netherlands.

Indonesians also remember him as Bung Karno or Pak Karno.

Like many old Javanese people, he had only one name. In

religious contexts, he was occasionally referred to as “Achmed

Soekarno”. In some other occasions, he referred as “Soekarno

Soekarno”. The name Soekarno means “Good Karna” in

Javanese.

Indonesian President first that hold the office of in the period

1945 - 1966. He played the role important to liberate the

Indonesian nation from the Dutch colonisation. He was the

conceptor of Pancasila (The Five Principles) as Indonesians life

guide. He was the Proclaimer of Indonesian Independence (waswith Mohammad Hatta) that happened on August 17 1945. He

published the Letter Of Instruction on March 11 1966

Supersemar that was controversial that, that it seems, including

his contents was assigned Lieutenant General Soeharto to pacify

and maintain his authority. But this Supersemar was misused by

Lieutenant General Soeharto to undermine his authority with the

road to accuse him of taking part in masterminding the

Movement on September 30. The charges caused People's

Consultative Assembly Sementara that his member was replaced


54/67

with the person who for Soeharto, shifted the presidency to

Soeharto

BEST QUOTES FROM SOEKARNO

Reach your ambition as high as the skies! Dream it as high

as the skies! Because if you're fell, you're gonna fall

among of the stars!!

Independence can only be obtained and secured by a

nation that has its spirit raging with determination:

"Freedom or Death"!

When the nation has been able to maintain his country

with own blood, the flesh itself, when the nation is

has been ripe for independence. If our nation, Indonesia,

although with spiked bamboos, brothers, all ready dead

defend our motherland Indonesia, when the nation

is ready, ripe for independence.

Do we want our national sovereignity taken by

capitalist? Or we want our people are prosperous eatenough, enough clothes, living in welfare?

In my political outlook, I'm nationalist! In my social

outlook, I'm socialist! In my religious outlook, I'm


55/67

completely theist! That I am! I'm not a communist, not at

all satellite of any other "-ism" in the world! I'm just pro-

Indonesia! I'll fight and work and sacrifice myself for this

Indonesian people, this Indonesian fatherland of mine!!

It was nationalism that Indonesia was established! Not the

Javanese nationality, not the Sumatran nationality, not the

Bornean nationality, Sulawesi, Bali or other, but the

Indonesian nationality, that together became the

foundation of one nationale staat (nation-state).

If, for example, one day Ki Bagoes Hadikoesoemo became

the Indonesian Head of State, and dies, won't his child be

(his replacement)? Then because of that I do not adhere to

the principle of monarchism.

This country, the Republic of Indonesia, does not belong

to any group, nor to any religion, nor to any ethnic group,

nor to any group with customs and traditions, but the

property of all of us from Sabang to Merauke!

They, OLDEFO (Old Established Forces), dol'exploitation de l'homme par 'homme (the exploitation of

man by man)!! Don't let them live!! So that there's no

colonialism anymore in the world!!


56/67

Conquer the thousands of man may not be called a winner,

but be able to conquer yourself is called a brilliant

conqueror!

Learning without thinking is useless, but thinking without

learning is very dangerous!

Do good to another man, even tho they don't do good toyou, you certainly will also get goodness from another

man! if a shame and fear is still there in on one's heart to

do goodness, then the guarantee to him is there's no one

progress at all!

A thousand of old man are just able to dream, but a young

man is able to change the world!

We liberate our nation's heart inside of Indonesian

independence!! Ibn Saud liberated Arabian's heart inside

of Saudi Arabian independence one by one!! Stalin

liberated Soviet-Russian's heart inside of Soviet one by

one!!

Rose never propagandize its fragrant, but its own

fragrance spreads and surrounding.

we are!

People is the result of history," the makers of history!

CHAPTER 8. AUNG S AN SUU K YI

Aung San Suu Kyi was born on June 19, 1945 as the daughterof national leader General Aung San (assassinated July 19, 1947)

and Daw Khin Kyi. She was educated in Rangoon, Burma until

she was 15 years old. In 1960 she accompanied her mother to

Delhi, India on her appointment as Burmese ambassador to India

and Nepal. Kyi studied politics at Delhi University. She earned a

BA in philosophy, politics and economics from St. Hugh’s

College, Oxford University. She worked abroad for the next

several years during which time she was married to Dr. Michael

Aris and had two children.

In 1988, while visiting Burma to take care of her sick mother,

Aung San Suu Kyi joined the pro-democracy movement which

was pressing for political reforms in Burma. On August 26, she

addressed a half-million mass rally in front of the famous

Shwedagon Pagoda in Rangoon and called for a democratic

government.

Later, the military government arrested her and detained her

for almost six years. She was released on July 10, 1995. During

her detention she was awarded the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize. She

established a health and education trust in support of theBurmese people to use the $1.3 million prize money.

Although currently under house arrest, Aung San Suu Kyi

continues to work for democracy and freedom in Burma.


59/67

BEST QUOTES FROM AUNG S AN SUU K YI

Sometimes I think that a parody of democracy could be

more dangerous than a blatant dictatorship, because that

gives people an opportunity to avoid doing anything about

it.

Human beings the world over need freedom and security

that they may be able to realize their full potential.

The root of a nation's misfortunes has to be sought in the

moral failings of the government.

The good ruler sublimates his needs as an individual to the

service of the nation.

While a private individual may be bound only by the

formal vows that he makes, those who govern should be

wholly bound by the truth in thought, word and deed.

It is undeniably easier to ignore the hardships of those

who are too weak to demand their rights than to respond

sensitively to their needs. To care is to accept

responsibility, to dare to act in accordance with the dictum

that the ruler is the strength of the helpless.


60/67

The royal duty of non-opposition is a reminder that the

legitimacy of government is founded on the consent of the

people, who may withdraw their mandate at any time if

they lose confidence in the ability of the ruler to serve

their best interests.

It is a strong argument for democracy that governments

regulated by principles of accountability, respect for public opinion and the supremacy of just laws are more

likely than an all-powerful ruler or ruling class,

uninhibited by the need to honour the will of the people, to

observe the traditional duties of Buddhist kingship.

Traditional values serve both to justify and to decipher

popular expectations of democratic government.

Each man has in him the potential to realize the truth

through his own will and endeavour and to help others to

realize it. Human life therefore is infinitely precious.

But despotic governments do not recognize the precious

human component of the state, seeing its citizens only as a

faceless, mindless - and helpless - mass to be manipulatedat will. It is as though people were incidental to a nation

rather than its very life-blood. Patriotism, which should be

the vital love and care of a people for their land, is

debased into a smokescreen of hysteria to hide the


61/67

injustices of authoritarian rulers who define the interests of

the state in terms of their own limited interests.

Weak logic, inconsistencies and alienation from the people

are common features of authoritarianism. The relentless

attempts of totalitarian regimes to prevent free thought and

new ideas and the persistent assertion of their own

lightness bring on them an intellectual stasis which they project on to the nation at large. Intimidation and

propaganda work in a duet of oppression, while the

people, lapped in fear and distrust, learn to dissemble and

to keep silent. And all the time the desire grows for a

system which will lift them from the position of 'rice-

eating robots' to the status of human beings who can think

and speak freely and hold their heads high in the security

of their rights.

Hope and optimism are irrepressible but there is a deep

underlying premonition that the opposition to change is

likely to be vicious. Often the anxious question is asked:

will such an oppressive regime really give us democracy?

And the answer has to be: democracy, like liberty, justice

and other social and political rights, is not 'given', it is

earned through courage, resolution and sacrifice.


62/67

The true measure of the justice of a system is the amount

of protection it guarantees to the weakest.

Where there is no justice there can be no secure peace.

Humor is one of the best ingredients of survival.

Freedom and democracy are dreams you never give up.

By helping others, you will learn how to help yourselves.

There is a time to be quiet and a time to talk.

To be forgotten, is to die a little.

I've always tried to explain democracy is not perfect. But

it gives you a chance to shape your own destiny.

For me, 'revolution' simply means radical change.

All repressive laws must be revoked, and laws introduced

to protect the rights of the people.

I am prepared to talk with anyone. I have no personal

grudge toward anybody.
