"An arch consists of two weaknesses which,..." - Quote by Leonardo Da Vinci

“Whoever despises the high wisdom of mathematics nourishes himself on delusion and will never still the sophistic sciences whose only product is an eternal uproar.”

“Savage is he who saves himself.”

“Whoever in debate quotes authority uses not intellect, but memory.”

“I am persuaded that a leader is not made in one life. He has to be born for it. For the difficulty is not in organisation and making plans; the test, the real test, of the leader, lies in holding widely different people together along the line of their common sympathies. And this can only be done unconsciously, never by trying.”

“I appeal to the Youth and those on the ground: start talking to each other across divisions of race and political organizations.”

“I feel many problems that we are facing, are man-made problems, we have too much emphasis on this secondary thing, forgetting our foundation. At foundation, we are the same human being and we are sharing the same planet. Six billion human beings' future is my future and my future is never separate from the future of six billion human beings.”

“Perfect nonviolence is difficult. It admits to no weakness.”

“The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. The lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. Never brag of being strong. The axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. It cuts them to pieces. But not the leaves. It leaves the leaves alone.”

“My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.”
