Satyagraha:
Truth (Satya) implies love, and firmness (agraha) engenders and therefore serves as a synonym for force. I thus began to call the Indian movement Satyagraha, that is to say, the Force which is born of Truth and Love or non-violence.
- 11 September 1906, M. K. Gandhi : Satyagraha in South Africa {100 years:Centenary this year.}
American Satyagraha:
Send Flowers to the President and ask him to follow the path of Truth and Love for Mankind and end the unjust war in Iraq.
