Ah, I love it! I laughed out loud!
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

I used to show that vid to everybody to show them my fahaka could burry himself. ;)

It's a great one. Also a good vid to show people their 4 little teeth as he flashes em just before he goes down under :D
