"An India free from exploitation from within..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“Forgive and forget, but never forget to forgive. You may find a happier heart is the key to a happier life.”

“It is weakness which breeds fear, and fear breeds distrust.”

“My Swaraj is to keep intact the genius of our civilization.”

“I would rather be a freeman among slaves than a slave among freemen.”

“A golden chain is as much a chain as an iron one. Shri Ramakrishna used to say that, to pick out one thorn which has stuck into the foot, another thorn is requisitioned, and when the thorn is taken out, both are thrown away. So the bad tendencies are to be counteracted by the good ones, but after that, the good tendencies have also to be conquered.”

“When we shot "Cry Freedom," I wasn't even allowed in South Africa. They told me I could come but I wasn't going to leave. I had heavy death threats at that time. So we shot in Zimbabwe. In 1995, I had the privilege and the honor to meet Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela the same day: I had breakfast with Desmond Tutu and lunch with Nelson Mandela. Then I had the good fortune to have Mr. Mandela actually come to my house in California. There's been a tremendous amount of change.”

“If the English educated neglect, as they have done and even now continue, as some do, to be ignorant of their mother tongue, linguistic starvation will abide.”

“The ideal of womanhood in India is motherhood - that marvellous, unselfish, all - suffering, ever - forgiving mother.”

“I would not flinch from sacrificing even a million lives for India's liberty.”
