"One who hooks his fortune to ahimsa,..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“It's not just words. Action expresses priorities.”

“A pacifism which can see the cruelties only of occasional military warfare and is blind to the continuous cruelties of our social system is worthless.”

“My ahimsa would not tolerate the idea of giving a free meal to a healthy person who has not worked for it in some honest way.”

“Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.”

“The richest grace of ahimsa will descend easily upon the owner of hard discipline.”

“Truth is self-evident, nonviolence is its maturest fruit. It is contained in truth, but is not self-evident.”

“love is blind and lovers cannot see the pretty follies that themselves commit”

“Dear Prince, I must leave you, but I will never forget you, and next spring I will bring you back two beautiful jewels in place of those you have given away. The ruby shall be redder than a red rose, and the sapphire shall be as blue as the great sea.”

“Love builds up the broken wall and straightens the crooked path. Love keeps the stars in the firmament and imposes rhythm on the ocean tides. Each of us is created of it and I suspect each of us was created for it.”
