Mahatma Gandhi
When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
... when all violence subsides in the human heart, the state which remains is love. It is not something we have to acquire it is always present, and needs only to be uncovered. This is our real nature, not merely to love one person here, another there, but to be love itself.
Mahatma Gandhi
Punishment is God's. He alone is the infallible Judge.

By spiritual training I mean education of the heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
