My Interests

Your character must be above suspicion, and you must be truthful and self-controlled.The truest test of civilization, culture, and dignity is character, not clothing.A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers.Men of stainless character will easily inspire confidence and automatically purify the atmosphere around them.The real property that a parent can transmit to all equally is his or her character and educational facilities.All your scholarship would be in vain if at the same time you do not build your character and attain mastery over your thoughts and your actions.

I'd like to meet:

Spontaneaous and Fun- loving Women to Enjoy What the Country's Fourth Largest City Has to Offer. Must Have a Sense of Humor, an Open Mind and a Modicum of Intelligence and Compassion for Humanity...!

Heroes:

Democracy necessarily means a conflict of will and ideas, involving sometimes a war . . . between different ideas.The very essence of democracy is that every person represents all the varied interests which compose the nation.Democracy is a great institution and, therefore, it is liable to be greatly abused.Democracy is an impossible thing until the power is shared by all, but let not democracy degenerate into mobocracy.Democracy is not a state in which people act like sheep.Democracy and violence can ill go together.Evolution of democracy is not possible if we are not prepared to hear the other side.Democracy, disciplined and enlightened, is the finest thing in the world.The spirit of democracy cannot be imposed from without. It has to come from within.My notion of democracy is that under it the weakest should have the same opportunity as the strongest.To safeguard democracy the people must have a keen sense of independence, self-respect, and their oneness.Intolerance, discourtesy, and harshness are taboo in all good society and are surely contrary to the spirit of democracy.In true democracy every man and women is taught to think for himself or herself.The spirit of democracy cannot be established in the midst of terrorism, whether governmental or popular.Corruption and hypocrisy ought not to be inevitable products of democracy, as they undoubtedly are today.
