Mahatma Gandhi
If co-operation is a duty, I hold that non-co-operation also under certain conditions is equally a duty.
Mahatma Gandhi
Just as a man would not cherish living in a body other than his own, so do nations not like to live under other nations, however noble and great the latter may be.
Mahatma Gandhi

George Washington
Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.
Martin Luther

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Henry David Thoreau
I put a piece of paper under my pillow, and when I could not sleep I wrote in the dark.
Henry David Thoreau

Aristotle
Courage is grace under pressure.
Ernest Hemingway
Pain and foolishness lead to great bliss and complete knowledge, for Eternal Wisdom created nothing under the sun in vain.

Ought we not to ask the media to agree among themselves a voluntary code of conduct, under which they would not say or show anything which could assist the terrorists' morale or their cause while the hijack lasted.
Margaret Thatcher
Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.
Plato
All the gold which is under or upon the earth is not enough to give in exchange for virtue.
Plato
The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men.
Plato
No trace of slavery ought to mix with the studies of the freeborn man. No study, pursued under compulsion, remains rooted in the memory.
Plato
How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he has planted.
Voltaire
