Famous Nice Sayings

August 27, 2009 at 12:08 pm

We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will and we will still love you…. But be assured that we?ll wear you down by our capacity to suffer, and one day we will win our freedom. We will not only win freedom for ourselves; we will appeal to your heart and conscience that we will win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.
