Mahatma Gandhi

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no results.

My life is my message.

Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.

A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.

The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

The only way to live is to let live.

Peace is the most powerful weapon of mankind.

To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.

It is easy to stand with the crowd. It takes courage to stand alone.

The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but it is fear.

True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding the true path for ourselves, and fearlessly following it.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still small voice within me.

Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.

The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires a change of heart.

Action expresses priorities.

What is true of the individual is true of the nation.
