Civilization, in the real sense of the term, consists not in the multiplication, but in the deliberate and voluntary reduction of wants.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Nonviolence is a universal law acting under all circumstances.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I believe that the sum total of the energy of mankind is not to bring us down but to lift us up, and that is the result of the definite, if unconscious, working of the law of love.
