Quote

• "Anyone seeking to interfere with the mode of living permitted to every man by law or seeking to cause upheaval deserves to be rebuked before the Creator and by the assembly of the people; he also deserves to be punished as an evildoer before the king." - Bejirond Tekle Hawaryat, quoted in Autobiography of Haile Selassie I, chap. 30.

Notes

Regarding neutrality: This user feels it is offensively P.O.V. and biased to describe the beliefs of any living world religion as "myths".

More scholarly sources, stating that linguists now consider recent finds to show that the Aramaic part of Daniel (chaps 2-7) dates to the Persian Era, and not to 2nd century BC as modern critical scholars had previously alleged:

• Dr. William H. Shea, Daniel, a Reader's Guide 2005, p. 22-28
• Arthur J. Ferch, "Authorship, Theology and Purpose of Daniel" in Symposium on Daniel 1986, 3-83
• Gerard Hasel, "Establishing a Date for the Book of Daniel" in ibid, p. 84-164.

(Another school of thought? Or a forbidden school of thought that is banned from wikipedia?)

Mahatma Gandhi (on the India Office policy toward Independence)

Gandhi

India Office, Whitehall, London

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you... then they come to fight you; and then you win!"

Did Gandhi actually say this "famous quote? There's a huge number of published sources claiming he used it (in countless variations) as a recurrent slogan during the nonviolence campaign - but, not one of these sources was published before 2001! The earliest form in print seems to be, as Wikiquote points out, a 1914 US trade union address ("First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you. And then they build monuments to you"). But the earliest attribution to Gandhi I could find, was first published in 1990 as part of a work of fiction (The Good Fight: A Laura Di Palma Mystery by Lia Matera - "First they ignore you, then they laugh, then they crack dawn [sic], then you win"). [In Oct. 1991, UK Labour MP Tony Benn also made a very similar quote: First they ignore you, then they say you're mad, then dangerous, then there's a pause and then you can't find anyone who disagrees with you.] Then in Apr. 1992, "first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they crack down. then you win." appears as a Gandhi quote in alt.activism. It starts spreading around Usenet like wildfire in mid-1998 as posters begin copying it from one another's "sigs", mutating slightly over time, then it appears in literature a few years later. At least one recent source even attributes it to Arun Gandhi, living grandson of Mahatma Gandhi. -- by Til Eulenspiegel (talk)
