"Nonviolence and cowardice go ill together. True..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“But you can wake a man only if he is really asleep. No effort that you make will produce any effect upon him if he is merely pretending sleep.”

“How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done.”

“A satyagrahi is dead to his body even before the enemy attempts to kill him.”

“Ahimsa was preached to man when he was in full vigor of life and able to look his adversaries straight in the face.”

“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 modern choice is between non-violence or non-existence.”

“Have enough courage to love.”

“I speak for those children who cannot speak for themselves, children who have absolutely nothing but their courage and their smiles, their wits and their dreams.”

“Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.”
