I did once seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek - I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man.
From Mahatma Gandhi
My religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.
An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
I would heartily welcome the union of East and West provided it is not based on brute force.
Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being.
I have worshipped woman as the living embodiment of the spirit of service and sacrifice.
Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.
