Quote of the month: (Taken from books about Alexander the Great as he arrived in India)
'We the Naked philosiphers address the man Alexander. If you have come to fight us it will do you no good. There is nothing you can take from us. To obtain from us what we do have, you must not fight but ask humbly, and ask it not of us but of the providence from above. If you wish to know who we are - we are naked and we have devoted ourselves to the pursuit of wisdom. This we have done not by our own decision but from the agency of the providence above. Your business is war, ours is wisdom. '
