"Nobody can hurt me without my permission...." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“How do you know if the next act you are about to do is the right one or the wrong one? Consider the face of the poorest and most vulnerable human being that you have ever chanced upon, and ask yourself if the act that you contemplate will be of benefit to that person; and if it will be, it's the right thing to do, and if not, rethink it.”

“We no longer have a choice between violence and non-violence. The choice of today stands between nonviolence or non-existence.”

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

“I had to come to terms with how I saw myself. I had to understand that I wasn't pretty or beautiful like most actresses and that I shouldn't care about whether other people found me attractive or not.”

“I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.”

“Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honor, I lose myself.”

“No, we are not anti-white. But we don't have time for the white man. The white man is on top already, the white man is the boss already ... He has first-class citizenship already. So you are wasting your time talking to the white man. We are working on our own people.”

“We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.”

“If you're sitting around waiting on somebody to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time because only you have the power to take responsibility to move your life forward.”
