"Truth stands for the fact, nonviolence negates..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“We shall dig our own grave if we do not purge ourselves of this curse of untouchability.”

“In a society based on nonviolence, the smallest nation will feel as tall as the tallest.”

“The very word Islam means peace, which is nonviolence.”

“All idealists imagine that the causes they serve are fundamentally better than any other causes in the world, and they refuse to believe that if their cause is to flourish at all it requires precisely the same foul-smelling manure that is necessary to all other human undertakings.”

“It is not necessary to bury the truth. It is sufficient merely to delay it until nobody cares.”

“Totalitarianism, however, does not so much promise an age of faith as an age of schizophrenia. A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is, when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud. Such a society, no matter how long it persists, can never afford to become either tolerant or intellectually stable.”

“If love or non-violence be not the law of our being, the whole of my argument falls to pieces.”

“I'm thinking of love in action and not something where you say, "Love your enemies," and just leave it at that, but you love your enemies to the point that you're willing to sit-in at a lunch counter in order to help them find themselves. You're willing to go to jail.”

“If there are sound reasons or bases for the points you demand, then there is no need for violence. On the other hand, when there is no sound reason that concessions should be made to you but mainly your own desire, then reason cannot work and you have to rely on force. Thus using force is not a sign of strength but rather a sign of weakness.”
