Quote by Peter Ward Fay

“From this humiliating self-estimate (of cowardice) Gandhi escaped by substituting for the Englishman's courage, which begins in self-assertion and proceeds to physical mastery, the courage which begins with self-control and proceeds to the nonviolent affirmation of truth.”

“Ain't No Coward (Sonnet 1137) Praying to be saved from danger, Ain't no spineless coward I. Let all the dangers hail my way, Each crisis is like a trip to Hawaii. Won't listen to no forbiddance, Won't heed no foreboding. None can sense the extent of my senses, Night and day are my own making. When all are eager for the sun to rise, I grab the night and conjure up dawn. Leave no corner of mindland unharvested, Struggle isn't over till gloom turns to morn.”
