Ashoka.
H.G Wells describes it best:
Quote:
|
"In the history of the world there have been thousands of kings and emperors who called themselves 'their highnesses,' 'their majesties,' and 'their exalted majesties' and so on. They shone for a brief moment, and as quickly disappeared. But Ashoka shines and shines brightly like a bright star, even unto this day."

Sir,
You have to agree that Ashoka actually tried a great deal to reduce the woes of the world.
