Mahatma Gandhi
Man must choose either of the two courses, the upward or the downward but as he has the brute in him, he will more easily choose the downward course than the upward, especially when the downward course is presented to him in a beautiful garb. Man easily capitulates when sin is presented in the garb of virtue.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence in politics is a new weapon in the process of evolution its vast possibilities are yet unexplored.
Mahatma Gandhi
