Mahatma Gandhi
Fear of disease killed more men than disease itself.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolent nationalism is a necessary condition of corporate or civilized life.
Mahatma Gandhi
The more efficient a force is, the more silent and the more subtle it is.
Mahatma Gandhi
If a single man demanded as much as a man with a wife and four children, then that would be a violation of the concept of economic equality.
