I was thinking more in terms of Ghandi, George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, etc. Not that any of them are beyond approach but they seemed like a decent sort. I'm not into list making. However, I do find your logic a bit skewed. Good men do stand up in periods of social strife, Corrupt opportunists are also known to exploit these situations. Life is rich with opportunities for people to rise and recognise their most noble nature: Out of the Indian approach to life there came a great freedom, an intense and absorbing respect for life, enriching faith in a Supreme Power, and principles of truth, honesty, generosity, equity, and brotherhood as a guide to mundane relations."
