Personally I crave not for 'independence', which I do not understand, but I long for freedom from the English yoke.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless a creature the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of humankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Ahimsa is nothing if not a well-balanced, exquisite consideration for one's neighbour, and an idle man is wanting in that elementary consideration.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
When there is war, the poet lays down the lyre, the lawyer his law reports, the schoolboy his books.
Mahatma Gandhi
