Quote

Let no one charge me with ever having abused or encouraged weakness or surrendered on matters of principle. But I have said, as I say again, that every trifle must not be dignified into a principle.

The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I call myself a labourer because I take pride in calling myself a spinner, weaver, farmer and scavenger.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Do not crave to know the views of others, nor base your intent thereon. To think independently for yourself is a sign of fearlessness.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Hinduism is a living organism. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. Knowledge is limitless and so also the application of truth. Everyday we add to our knowledge of the power of Atman (soul) and we shall keep on doing so.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done.

Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.
Mahatma Gandhi
