Mahatma Gandhi
The State is the sum total of the sacrifice, on its behalf, of its members.

Mahatma Gandhi
No religion which is narrow and which cannot satisfy the test of reason, will survive the coming reconstruction of society in which the values will have changed and character, not possession of wealth, title or birth, will be the test of merit.
Mahatma Gandhi
Meditation is waiting on God.
Mahatma Gandhi
I will not have the power of nonviolence to be underestimated in order to cover my limitations or weaknesses.
