Quotes

• Academic Freedom the right to search for truth
  and to publish and teach what one holds to be
  true.
• Mahatma Gandhi's life achievement stands unique
  in political history. He has invented a
  completely new and humane means for the
  liberation war of an oppressed country, and
  practised it with greatest energy and devotion.
  The moral influence he had on the conciously
  thinking human being of the entire civilized
  world will probably be much more lasting than it
  seems in our time with its overestimation of
  brutal violent forces. Because lasting will only
  be the work of such statesmen who wake up and
  strengthen the moral power of their people
  through their example and educational works.We
  may all be happy and grateful that destiny gifted
  us with such an enlightened contemporary, a role
  model for the generations to come. 1931
• If I had known they were going to do this, I
  would have become a shoemaker. - 1945
