The Indian struggle is not anti-British, it is anti-exploitation, anti-foreign rule, not anti-foreigners.
Mahatma Gandhi

I realized the true function of a lawyer was to unite parties riven asunder.

I lost nothing thereby -- not even money, certainly not my soul.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Hatred ever kills, love never dies. Such is the vast difference between the two... The duty of a human being is to diminish hatred and to promote love.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
That which impels man to do the right thing is God.

Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I believe that the sum total of the energy of mankind is not to bring us down but to lift us up, and that is the result of the definite, if unconscious, working of the law of love. The fact that mankind persists shows that the cohesive force is greater than the disruptive force, centripetal force greater than centrifugal.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
A general belief seems to prevail in the colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than the savages or natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir.
