"Intolerance, discourtesy and harshness..... are taboo in..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us. This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good heart whatever they might have to say.”

“Coercion cannot but result in chaos in the end.”

“When two nations are fighting, the duty of a votary of ahimsa is to stop the war.”

“The massive, frustrated energies of a mainly young, disillusioned electorate that has long since abandoned the idea that we all have a duty to vote. This is like being told you have a duty to buy a new car, but you have to choose immediately between a Ford and a Chevy.”

“The only way to settle questions of an ideological nature or controversial issues among the people is by the democratic method, the method of discussion, of criticism, of persuasion and education, and not by the method of coercion or repression.”

“A government can be no better than the public opinion which sustains it.”

“The most damaging forms of intolerance are connected with religious, racial and political differences of opinion.”

“Intolerance is a species of violence and therefore against our creed.”

“No loss by flood and lightning, no destruction of cities and temples by the hostile forces of nature, has deprived man of so many noble lives and impulses as those which his intolerance has destroyed.”
