Mahatma Gandhi

Nonviolence means an ocean of compassion. It means shedding from us every trace of ill will for others. It does not mean abjectness or timidity, or fleeing in fear. It means, on the contrary, firmness of mind and courage, a resolute spirit.

The golden way is to be friends with the world and to regard the whole human family as one.

To see the universal and all-pervading Spirit of Truth face to face, one must be able to love the meanest of all creation as oneself.

Roving dogs do not indicate the civilisation or compassion of the society. They betray on the country the ignorance and lethargy of its members.

While everything around me is ever changing, ever dying, there is underlying that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves and recreates.... For I can see in the midst of death, life persists, in the midst of untruth, truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry.

If one takes care of the means, the end will take care of itself.

It is difficult, but not impossible, to conduct strictly honest business.

When you know the truth, the truth makes you a soldier.

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

To safeguard democracy the people must have a keen sense of independence, self-respect, and their oneness.

See the good in people and help them.

It is my conviction that nothing enduring _x000D_ _x000D_ can be built on violence. _x000D_ _x000D_ The only safe way to overcome an enemy _x000D_ _x000D_ is to make of that enemy a friend.

There is no road towards peace; peace is the road

If you love peace, then hate injustice, hate tyranny, hate greed � but hate these things in yourself, not in another.

Democracy and violence can ill go together.

Democracy is not a state in which people act like sheep.

Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.

There is no reason to believe that there is one law for families and another for nations.

Nonviolence is not a weapon of the weak. It is a weapon of the strongest and bravest.

There is no road to freedom, freedom is the road.
