Mahatma Gandhi

Experience gained in two schools under my control has taught me that punishment does not purify, if anything, it hardens children.
Mahatma Gandhi
Human dignity demands courage to defend oneself.
Mahatma Gandhi
No reform is possible unless some of the educated and the rich voluntarily accept the status of the poor, travel third, refuse to enjoy the amenities denied to the poor and, instead of taking avoidable hardships, discourtesies and injustice as a matter of course, fight for their removal.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hinduism has become a conservative religion and, therefore, a mighty force because of the swadeshi spirit underlying it.
Mahatma Gandhi
All faiths constitute a revelation of Truth, but all are imperfect and liable to error.
Mahatma Gandhi
Faith is the function of the heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
