The greatest gift for an individual or a nation ...was abhaya,
fearlessness, not merely bodily courage but absence of fear from the
mind....Fearlessness may be a gift, but perhaps more precious is the
courage acquired through endeavour, courage that comes from cultivating
the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions, courage that
could be described as "grace under pressure" -- grace which is renewed
repeatedly in the face of harsh, unremmiting pressure.
-- Aung San Suu Kyi
