Mahatma Gandhi

Where there is love there is life.

Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.

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

The Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs.

It is degrading to the human dignity to blacken one’s face to play the role of a Negro.

The blacks are as a rule uncivilized—the convicts even more so. They are troublesome, very dirty, and live almost like animals.

Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.

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

There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path.

In a gentle way, you can shake the world.

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

Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.

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

The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still, small voice of conscience.

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

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.

The seven social sins: politics without principle, wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice.

God has no religion.

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

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