"I would rather drown myself in the..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“Further march of civilization seems to employ increasing domination of man over beast, together with a growingly humane method of using them.”

“A little of true nonviolence acts in a silent, subtle, unseen way and leavens the whole society.”

“Aggressive civil disobedience should be confined to a vindication of the right of free speech and free association.”

“Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.”

“Time heals griefs and quarrels, for we change and are no longer the same persons. Neither the offender nor the offended are any more themselves.”

“Forgiveness does not mean excusing.”

“You anticipate what I would say, though you cannot know how earnestly I say it, how earnestly I feel it, without knowing my secret heart, and the hopes and fears and anxieties with which it has long been laden. Dear Doctor Manette, I love your daughter fondly, dearly, disinterestedly, devotedly. If ever there were love in the world, I love her.”

“There is not enough love and goodness in the world to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings.”

“We may sooner be brought to love them that hate us, than them that love us more than we would have them do.”
