Mahatma Gandhi

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

The only tyrant I accept in this world is the 'still small voice' within me. And even though I have to face the prospect of being a minority of one, I humbly believe I have the courage to be in such a hopeless minority.

Truth never damages a cause that is just.

I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.

most Americans think of Rosa Parks as a demur, pleasant-enough seamstress who backed into history by being too tired to get out of her seat on a bus one day, in reality she had been trained in nonviolence spirit and tactics at a famous institution, Highlander Folk School. It seems to be a difficult concept for most of us that peace is a skill that can be learned. We know war can be learned, but we seem to think that one becomes a peacemaker by a mere change of heart. (23)

Live simply so others may simply live

You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.

Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between individuals.

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.

There is no 'way to peace,' there is only 'peace.

If a single man achieves the highest kind of love, it will be sufficient to neutralize the hate of millions.

The only difference between man and man all the world over is one of degree, and not of kind, even as there is between trees of the same species.Where in is the cause for anger, envy or discrimination?

The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane.

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.

If we are to make progress, we must not repeat history but make new history. We must add to inheritance left by our ancestors.

Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.
