Mahatma Gandhi
Infinite Love is a weapon of matchless potency. It is the 'summum bonum' of life. It is an attribute of the brave, in fact it is their all. It does not come within the each of the coward. It is no wooden of lifeless dogma but a living and life-giving.
Mahatma Gandhi
By ahimsa we will be able to save the cow and also win the friendship of the English.
Mahatma Gandhi
