"Non -violence is infinitely superior to violence..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“A nonviolent action accompanied by nonviolence in thought and word should never produce enduring violent reaction upon the opponent.”

“Prosecution of the constructive programme means constructing the structure of Swaraj.”

“However virile the English language may be, it can never become the language of the masses of India.”

“Just as one must learn the art of killing in the training for violence, so one must learn the art of dying in the training for non-violence. Violence does not mean the emancipation from fear, but discovering the means of combating the cause of fear. Nonviolence, on the other hand, has no cause for fear. The votary of nonviolence has to cultivate the capacity for sacrifice of the highest type in order to be free from fear. He recks not if he should lose his land, his wealth, his life.”

“Violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones.”

“We must follow nonviolence and love.”

“There's no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war. Except its ending.”

“I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically - any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace, you see. It is the most violent people who go for love and peace. Everything's the opposite. But I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster.”

“If we neglect or abandon those who are suffering in poverty ... not only are we depriving ourselves of potential opportunities for markets and economic growth, but ultimately that despair may turn to violence that turns on us.”
