This morning I took the ferry to the City and wandered around a bit. I revisited the beautiful Gandhi statue and took a picture. That's the Ferry Bldg behind Gandhi, and a building housing condos behind it. The statue, by sculptors Zlatko Pounov and Steen Lowe, was dedicated on October 3, 1988. It is often decorated with Hawaiian leis. Other than that, it receives embarrassingly little attention.
Mohandas K. Gandhi, or Mahatma Gandhi, as he was commonly known, lived from 1869 to 1948. He said "Non-Violence is the greatest force at the disposal of Mankind. It is the supreme law. By it alone can mankind be saved."
Albert Einstein said "Generations to come, it may be, will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth".
