There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I think it would be a good idea.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
A genuine satyagraha should never excite contempt in the opponent even when it fails to command regard or respect.
Mahatma Gandhi

Painters and poets are obliged to exaggerate the proportions of their figures in order to give true perspective.
Mahatma Gandhi
