"Nonviolence is impossible without humility...." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“Before we can aspire to guide the destinies of India, we shall have to adopt the habit of fearlessness.”

“I cannot be subservient anywhere.”

“I have known only one way of carrying on missionary work, viz., by personal example and discussion with searchers for knowledge.”

“Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him.”

“Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. Non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. Non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. Non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. Perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. Non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.”

“When a man vowed to nonviolence as the law governing human beings dares to refer to war, he can only do it so as to strain every nerve to avoid it.”

“Not praising the deserving prevents envy.”

“When men lack a sense of awe, there will be disaster.”

“Let the realist not mind appearances. Let him delegate to others the costly courtesies and decorations of social life. The virtuesare economists, but some of the vices are also. Thus, next to humility, I have noticed that pride is a pretty good husband. A good pride is, as I reckon it, worth from five hundred to fifteen hundred a year.”
