A Message of Truth and Perseverance
"സത്യം സ്വയം ശക്തമാണ്, അതിന് ആയുധബലം ആവശ്യമില്ല. അഹിംസയുടെ മഹത്വം വിജയപരാജയങ്ങളിലല്ല, അത് പിന്തുടരുന്നതിൽ തന്നെയാണ്."
("Truth is powerful in itself; it requires no strength of arms. The greatness of non-violence lies not in victory or defeat, but in staying committed to following it.")
Fr. Benjamine Palliyadiyil
Manager, Bishop Jerome Engineering College & Director, Quilon Law Library
