Mahatma Gandhi

The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.

I have learned through bitter experience the supreme importance of being truthful and nonviolent in thought, word and deed.

My greatest weapon is prayer.

I am a firm believer in the efficacy of prayer.

I have no doubt that the British will leave India. But I am not sure that they will leave India in peace.

I am an optimist, because I believe in God.

The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.

I believe in the power of love to transform the world.

My life is an open book. There is nothing to hide.

I have always held that the only way to conquer evil is to meet it with good.

I am a man of faith, and I believe that faith can move mountains.

The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.

I have no enemies, for I believe that all men are brothers.

I am a humble servant of India, and I will serve her till my last breath.

There are many causes that I am prepared to die for, but no cause that I am prepared to kill for.

Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.

I cannot conceive of a greater loss than the loss of one's self-respect.

Faith must be a living force, and it is a living force only when it expresses itself in our daily life.

The very first step in non-violence is that we cultivate in our daily life, as between ourselves, truthfulness, humility, tolerance and loving kindness.

The only devils in the world are those running around in our own hearts, and that is where all our battles should be fought.
