"The end of nonviolent 'war' is always..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“I own no property and yet I feel that I am perhaps the richest man in the world.”

“Commonsense is the realised sense of proportion.”

“My optimism rests on my belief in the infinite possibilities of the individual to develop nonviolence. . . . In a gentle way you can shake the world.”

“The common factor of all religions is nonviolence.”

“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy... In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.”

“If we get setbacks and if something happens where the Civil Rights Bill is watered down, for instance, if the Negro feels that he can do nothing but move from one ghetto to another and one slum to another, the despair and the disappointment will be so great that it will be very difficult to keep the struggle disciplined and nonviolent.”

“There is one ray of hope. It seems to me that today the responsible leaders of the several peoples have, in the main, the honest will to abolish war.”

“The very word 'war', therefore, has become misleading. It would probably be accurate to say that by becoming continuous war has ceased to exist. ... War is Peace.”

“The energy that flows into what you do, although it may be high energy, is very peaceful energy. It is not out of alignment with life.”
