Mahatma Gandhi(Mohandas K Gandhi)

• Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our very being.


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


• Increase of material comforts, it may be generally laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce to moral growth.


• That action alone is just that does not harm either party to a dispute.


• What difference does it make to the dead...whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy.


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


• Capital as such is not an evil; it is its wrong use that is evil.


• It is difficult but not impossible to conduct strictly honest business. What is true is that honesty is incompatible with the amassing of a large fortune.


• I consider myself a Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist and Confucian.


• Civilization is the encouragement of differences. Civilization thus becomes a synonym of democracy. Force, violence, pressure, or compulsion with a view to conformity, is both uncivilized and undemocratic.


• Truth never damages a cause that is just.


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


• Morality is contraband in war.


• There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.


• In matters of conscience, the law of majority has no place.


• For us, patriotism is the same as the love of humanity.


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


• Hate the sin and love the sinner.


• The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.


• Remember that there is always a limit to self-indulgence, but none to self-restraint.
