Mahatma Gandhi

There is more to life than increasing its speed.

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.

Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.

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

Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.

A principle is the expression of a perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practice perfection, we devise every moment limits of its application.

The law of love will work, just as the law of gravitation will work, whether we accept it or not.

I am a humble seeker after truth and I am prepared to follow it to any length.

I believe in the essential unity of man and for that matter of all life.

My experiments with truth are not yet over.

I have been a loyal servant of the Empire, but I have now come to the conclusion that the Empire is a curse.

I want to realize brotherhood or identity with all life, not merely with the beings called human.

The only way to live is to live and let live.

I am a man of peace, but I am also a man of action.

I have no desire to be a saint. I am a humble seeker after truth.

I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.
