Mahatma Gandhi

Let the Jews who claim to be the chosen race prove their title by choosing the way of non-violence for vindicating their position on earth. Every country is their home, including Palestine, not by aggression but by loving service

To a hungry man, a piece of bread is the face of God.

To me, God is Truth and Love; God is ethics and morality: God is fearlessness. God is the source of Light and Life and yet He is above and beyond all these. God is conscience... He is a personal God to those who need His personal presence. He is embodied to those who need His touch. He is the purest essence. He simply is to those who have faith. He is all things to all men.

Those who cannot renounce attachment to the results of their work are far from the path.

Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God's hands.

One needs to be slow to form convictions, but once formed they must be defended against the heaviest odds.

Indeed, the test of orderliness in a country is not the number of millionaires it owns, but the absence of starvation among its masses.

Faith becomes lame, when it ventures into matters pertaining to reason!

Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.

Ashram means a community of men of religion. I feel that an ashram was a necessity of life for me.

You have the choice to create the life your heart is yearning to live.

It has often occurred to me that a seeker after truth has to be silent.

Peace is the most powerful weapon of mankind.

In nature there is a fundamental unity running through all the diversity we see about us. Religions are given to mankind so as to accelerate the process of realisation of fundamental unity.

If we are to create peace in our world, we must begin with our children.

Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. For the least sin, it wouldn't take us longTo get so we had no one left to live with.For to be social is to be forgiving.

Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth and the soul requires inward restfulness to attain its full height.

Violence will prevail over violence, only when someone can prove to me that darkness can be dispelled by darkness

The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
