Mahatma Gandhi
It is difficult for me to regard anyone who obeys no moral principle in his conduct to be a religious man.
Mahatma Gandhi
Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.
Mahatma Gandhi
The rishis, who discovered the law of nonviolence in the midst of violence, were greater geniuses than Newton.
