Life In Good Measure

It is about people, history and your own place on the map

Who Said That! #3

Let’s have another piece in the series Who Said That! Depicting what we people have uttered in a moment of elation, insight, inspiration, wisdom, despair - or any other emotion. The headline suggests anger, and is really a joke here, anger being such a poor indicator. It is instead those other emotions we are looking for.

Try to guess/remember first who said that, and if you don’t know, you’ll see who it was at the very end of the article. These pieces are there to lift your spirits, brighten your day, put a smile on your face, increase your tolerance of fellow human beings - or just give you a temporary relief from whatever you were doing a moment ago.

Remember to scroll  down  s l o w l y. Who said:

“BE THE CHANGE

THAT YOU WISH TO SEE

IN THE WORLD”

A hint: no hint this time - this should be fairly easy. And since we are in the topic: let’s stop throwing things out in our common living room - like Danny Kaye called the world in that one episode of The Twilight Zone, Paladin of The Lost Hour. A bit harder to do is to change our way of living - with travelling, driving the car etc - in order to save our world from the perils of climate change.

But  the answer to the main question is of course:

Mahatma Gandhi

He wasn’t thinking of climate change back then, but rather of peace and the impact we people have on each other.  But the promise of change is always there for anyone to grab.
