A very appropriate contrast to our discussion. Timely and appropriate.

"a person with deep and always-evolving ideas, a man whose own known writings stretch out over 100 volumes, a man who was a lawyer, an organizer, an experimenter in diet, a nature healer, a father of four, a husband, an agronomist, a book-seller, a philosopher, a theologian, a sociologist, a teacher, a publisher, an ecumenist, a Hindu, an advocate for the rights of women and the untouchables, a weaver, a pacifist, a celibate, a boycotter, a civil disobedient, a politician, and, say some like Attenborough, a saint"

I wonder how this portrait of a cultured and cultivated man compares to other prominent people?...
