Mahatma Gandhi

“A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.”

“Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.”

“But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.”

“Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.”

“Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause.”

“Non-violence is the article of faith.”

“Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.”

“Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.”

“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.”

“Fear has its use but cowardice has none.”

“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

“Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?”

“Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself.”

“God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.”

“God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.”

“I will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God's creation, woman, the object of our lust.”

“My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.”

“Where love is, there God is also.”

“It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity.”

“Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.”

“A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.”

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

“The good man is the friend of all living things.”
