Quote

If I seem to take part in politics, it is only because politics encircles us today like the coil of a snake from which one cannot get out, no matter how much one tries. I wish therefore to wrestle with the snake.

There are unjust laws as there are unjust men.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It is the best thing to blame ourselves when people cannot get on well with us. Boundless charity necessarily includes all or it ceases to be boundless. We must be strict with ourselves and lenient with our neighbors. For we know not their difficulties and what they overcome.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Life becomes livable only to the extent that death is treated as a friend, never as an enemy.

God never made man that he may consider another man as untouchable.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Was it that you wanted to pull my leg by transporting me to the frozen Himalayan heights of 'mahatmaship' and claiming for yourself absolution from having to follow my precepts?
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
If we had attained the full vision of Truth, we would no longer be seekers, but become one with God, for Truth is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It is no easy task to do away with a thing that is established. We, therefore, say that the non-beginning of a thing is supreme wisdom.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It is simple impertinence for any man, or any body of men, to begin, or to contemplate, reform of the whole world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I believe that the sum total of the energy of mankind is not to bring us down but to lift us up, and that is the result of the definite, if unconscious, working of the law of love. The fact that mankind persists shows that the cohesive force is greater than the disruptive force, centripetal force greater than centrifugal.
