Mahatma Gandhi
It dawned upon me that fasting could be made as powerful a weapon of indulgence as of restraint
Mahatma Gandhi
Ahimsa magnifies one's own defects, and minimizes those of the opponent. It regards the mole in one's own eye as a beam and the beam in the opponent's eye as a mole.
Mahatma Gandhi
If you want something really important to be done you must not merely satisfy the reason, you must move the heart also.
Mahatma Gandhi
The future of India lies in its villages
