Don't know where my comment from yesterday went, might be at the same place my Sunday newspaper disappeared to. I would like to have Annie Besant at the party too.

There is so much wisdom in Ghandi's worldview, and very little to disagree with.

That is a rich collection! So many origins, periods in history and personal points of view, but there is always a kernel, an insight one can agree with & some are such a reflection of their lives and times. That's when I thik sometimes "if you say so". Herriot's are a delight, they are close to what I am concerned with.

Voltaire had a pretty big influence on one of the more enlightened rulers in Germany. I agree with lots of the quotes, but the most enduring is, I think: "Common sense is not so common".
