To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith.
Mahatma Gandhi
To deprive a man of his natural liberty and to deny to him the ordinary amenities of life is worse then starving the body it is starvation of the soul, the dweller in the body.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe that the yarn we spin is capable of mending the broken warp and woof of our life!
Mahatma Gandhi
Men should do their actual living and working in communities small enough to permit of genuine self-government and the assumption of personal responsibilities, federated into larger units in such a way that the temptation to abuse great power should not arise.
Mahatma Gandhi
If the Commander-in-Chief will look beyond the defence forces, he will discover that the real India is not military but peace-loving.
Mahatma Gandhi
