ghandi & mlk

MLK was strongly influenced by Ghandi.  They are both very wise individuals that have impacted this world during their time on Earth.   MLK once stated "I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.  This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant".  There is a quote by Ghandi that I found that relates to MLK's quote.  Ghandi says, "When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of the truth and love has always won.  There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall-- think of it, ALWAYS".  Both of these men have a very strong belief in truth and love.  The tiniest acts of love will always be more powerful than the greatest hatred in the world.  Whether it is wanted or not, truth will always find its way out.  They both state that truth and love always wins.  Ghandi made a major impact on MLK, who had a major impact on the United States history.  Without the dreams, wisdom, and love instilled in MLK, this nation would not be what it is today.  It is quite intriguing  to imagine how everything happens for a reason and how God created these individuals to have such great purpose in this world.  I am amazed when I think about how different the lives of Americans would be without MLK, and then without Ghandi to have been such an influence on him.  I wonder how Ghandi came across all of his wisdom.  Did he learn it through his own thoughts or throughout he influence of others around him.  Could it be a spiritual thing to where God was speaking to him?  I think of that question because a lot of his quotes sound very similar to what the bible preaches.
