Mahatma Gandhi

You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.

Morality is a contraband in war.

The first principal of non-violent action is that of non-cooperation with everything humiliating.

An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.

To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves.

There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.

Just as a man would not cherish living in a body other than his own, so do nations not like to live under other nations, however noble and great the latter may be.

Facts we would always place before our readers, whether they are palatable or not, and it is by placing them constantly before the public in their nakedness that the misunderstanding between the two communities in South Africa can be removed.

All your scholarship would be in vain if at the same time you do not build your character and attain mastery over your thoughts and your actions.

The devotion of such titans of spirit as Lenin to an Ideal must bear fruit. The nobility of his selflessness will be an example through centuries to come, and his Ideal will reach perfection.

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.

service can have no meaning unless one takes pleasure in it. When it is done for show or for fear of public opinion, it stunts the man and crushes his spirit. Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served.

Civilization is the encouragement of differences.

No reform is possible unless some of the educated and the rich voluntarily accept the status of the poor, travel third, refuse to enjoy the amenities denied to the poor, and instead of taking avoidable hardships, discourtesies, and injustice as a matter of course, fight for their removal.

Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between individuals.
