"I want my motherland to become the most respected country in the world. It does not mean that our nation should become a wealthy nation to overpower other countries or possess strong military ability. The only lofty thing I earnestly wish my nation to attain is the power of culture. It is because the power of culture flows over to everything to benefit all."

Park Jie-won Kim Ku, one of the greatest independence fighters and philosophers in Korean history
