Gandhi once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." Layout Provided By FreeCodeSource.com - Myspace Layouts

Books:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.- The Bible : 1 Corinthians 13:4 -~Insistence on truth can come into play when one party practises untruth or injustice. Only then can love be tested. True friendship is put to the test only when one party disregards the obligation of friendship. ~Mahatama Ghandi~
