Mahatma Gandhi

What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea.

Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.

Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.

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

I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.

Yes I am, I am also a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, and a Jew.

It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.

I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles but today it means getting along with people.

Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent.

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one's own religion.

My religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.

Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

If a man reaches the heart of his own religion, he has reached the heart of the others, too. There is only one God, and there are many paths to him.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.

Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.

Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians - you are not like him.

Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.
