Mahatma Gandhi
There are sufficient resources on this planet to answer the needs of all, but not enough to satisfy everyone's greed.
Mahatma Gandhi
Who can deny that much that passes for science and art today destroys the soul instead of uplifting it and instead of evoking the best in us, panders to our basest passions?
Mahatma Gandhi
The mice which helplessly find themselves between the cats teeth acquire no merit from their enforced sacrifice.
Mahatma Gandhi
God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.
Mahatma Gandhi
A soldier fights with an irresistible strength when he has blown up his bridges and burnt his boats. Even so, it is with a soldier of ahimsa.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence means an ocean of compassion. It means shedding from us every trace of ill will for others. It does not mean abjectness or timidity, or fleeing in fear. It means, on the contrary, firmness of mind and courage, a resolute spirit.
Mahatma Gandhi
Buddha renounced every worldly happiness because he wanted to share with the whole world his happiness which was to be had by men who sacrificed and suffered in the search for truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
