Candace Bergen' character, the journalist Bourke-White, is talking to Gandhi:<BR/><BR/>BOURKE-WHITE:<BR/>You really are going to Pakistan, then? (Gandhi shrugs, and she <BR/>chides too) You are a stubborn man.<BR/><BR/>GANDHI<BR/>a grin, in the mood of their "flirtation"): I'm simply going to prove to Muslims there, and Hindus here, that the only devils in the world are those running around in our own hearts - and that's where all our battles ought to be fought.<BR/><BR/>BOURKE-WHITE:<BR/>And what kind of a warrior have you been in that warfare?<BR/><BR/>GANDHI:<BR/>Not a very good one. That's why I have so much tolerance for the <BR/>other scoundrels of the world.<BR/><BR/>(http://www.awesomefilm.com/script/gandhi.txt)<BR/><BR/>This line always reminds me that humility is a prerequisite for working for peace.Pilgrim Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704217370606494336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-1147403275794099122006-05-11T23:07:00.000-04:002006-05-11T23:07:00.000-04:00Thank you for your thoughts. I appreciate what you...Thank you for your thoughts. I appreciate what you have written. I really have been moved following the JPIC retreat last weekend. I've been asked by my Franciscan fraternity to present my experiences at the retreat along with my friend Brother Joe. <BR/>The Engage book from Pace e Bene is very good and insightful material.
