Human life is a series of compromises, and it is not always easy to achieve in practice what one has found to be true in theory.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Man must choose either of the two courses, the upward or the downward but as he has the brute in him, he will more easily choose the downward course than the upward, especially when the downward course is presented to him in a beautiful garb. Man easily capitulates when sin is presented in the garb of virtue.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The fact that mankind persists shows that the cohesive force is greater than the disruptive force, centripetal force greater than centrifugal.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Far better than emasculation would be the bravery of those who use physical force. Far better than cowardice would be meeting one's death fighting.
Mahatma Gandhi

Cow-slaughter can never be stopped by law.
