Mahatma Gandhi
Find purpose. The means will follow.
Mahatma Gandhi
The man who coerces another not to eat fish commits more violence than he who eats it.

Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.
Mahatma Gandhi
Abstract truth has no value unless it incarnates in human beings who represent it, by proving their readiness to die for it.

God took and needed no personal service. He served His creatures without demanding any service for Himself in return.
Mahatma Gandhi
My religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.
Mahatma Gandhi
