Wiki to this man
It is indeed a sad day that such an icon of peace is dead. With that, I leave with a couple quotes from the man himself.
"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."
"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
"A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed."
