"Humanity is an Ocean......"

Mohandas Gandhi (October 2, 1869-January 30, 1948)  Indian leader and advocate of non violent civil disobedience made an permanent impact on this planet.  He was called Mahatma which means Great Soul and Bapu or Father by Indians he strove to live by non violence in everything he did.   
He was assassinated on January 30, 1948.   January 30 is now observed as Martyrs Day in India and School Day of Non Violence and Peace in Spain.   I think most of us have heard of this quote attributed to Gandhi:
  You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Mohandas Gandhi

I find this quote attributed to him also very interesting.  
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
Mohandas Gandh
Another that we might pay attention to:
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
Mohandas Gandhi
