"Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“Let no one charge me with ever having abused or encouraged weakness or surrendered on matters of principle. But I have said, as I say again, that every trifle must not be dignified into a principle.”

“There is no such thing as 'Gandhism', and I do not want to leave any sect after me.”

“Nonviolence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice - nonviolence springs from love, cowardice from hate.”

“Civil disobedience can only lead to strength and purity.”

“To benefit by others' killing and to delude oneself into the belief that one is being very religions and nonviolent is sheer self-deception.”

“The reason I can't follow the old eye-for-an-eye philosophy is that it ends up leaving everyone blind.”

“It is far better to be deceived than undeceived by those whom we tenderly love.”

“A message came from my youth of vanished days, saying, 'I wait for you among the quivering of unborn May, where smiles ripen for tears and hours ache with songs unsung.' It says, 'Come to me across the worn-out track of age, through the gates of death. For dreams fade, hopes fail, the fathered fruits of the year decay, but I am the eternal truth, and you shall meet me again and again in your voyage of life from shore to shore.”

“If, while hurrying ostensibly to the temple of truth, we hand the reins over to our personal interests which look aside at very different guiding stars, for instance at the tastes and foibles of our contemporaries, at the established religion, but in particular at the hints and suggestions of those at the head of affairs, then how shall we ever reach the high, precipitous, bare rock whereon stands the temple of truth?”
