The test of a democracy is not the magnificence of buildings or the speed of
automobiles or the efficiency of air transportation, but rather the care
given to the welfare of all the people. -Helen Adams Keller, lecturer and
author (1880-1968)
Truth never damages a cause that is just. -Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
(1869-1948)
