Schopenhauer and Gandhi on bonsai wisdom

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

    
- Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)


First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

- Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
