Mahatma Gandhi

If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.

In a gentle way, you can shake the world.

What is true of the individual will be tomorrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.

Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly.

You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.

Morality is contraband in war.

It is better to be violent if there is violence in our hearts than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence.

There are limits to self-indulgence none to self-restraint.

It is possible for a single individual to defy the whole might of an unjust empire to save his honour his religion his soul and lay the foundation for that empire's fall or its regeneration.

I consider myself a Hindu Christian Moslem Jew Buddhist and Confucian.

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul.

Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied it is the most potent instrument of action.

Monotony is the law of nature. Look at the monotonous manner in which the sun rises. The monotony of necessary occupations is exhilarating and life-giving.

Where there is love there is life.

Rights that do not flow from duty well performed are not worth having.

Happiness is when what you think what you say and what you do are in harmony.

Whenever you are confronted with an opponent conquer him with love.
