Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Cowardice is impotence worse than violence. The coward desires revenge but being afraid to die, he looks to others, maybe to the government of the day, to do the work of defense for him. A coward is less than a man. He does not deserve to be a member of a society of men and women.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Waiting on God means increasing purity.
Mahatma Gandhi
I know that I can never be alone as God is there with me.
Mahatma Gandhi
The notion of education through handicrafts rises from the contemplation of truth and love permeating life's activities.
Mahatma Gandhi
