"Under democracy, individual liberty of opinion and..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“I would not sell the vital interests of the untouchables for the sake of winning the freedom of India.”

“I could not be leading a religious life unless I identified myself with the whole of mankind, and that I could not do unless I took part in politics.”

“My freedom from hatred - I would even claim for myself individually, my love - for those who consider themselves to be my enemies, does not make me blind to their faults.”

“Democracy can only represent the average if not less than the average.”

“I am not among those who fear the people. They, and not the rich, are our dependence for continued freedom.”

“Democracy as a system has evolved into something that Thomas Jefferson didn't anticipate.”

“The true character of liberty is independence, maintained by force.”

“What country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”

“Freedom has always been an expensive thing. History is fit testimony to the fact that freedom is rarely gained without sacrifice and self-denial.”
