In our progress towards the goal, we ever see more and more enchanting scenery.
If you want real peace in the world, start with children.
To retaliate against the relatives of the co-religionists of the wrong-doer is a cowardly act.
A leader is useless when he acts against the promptings of his own conscience.
The truth can never be wrong, even if no one hears it.
The measure of a country's greatness should be based on how well it cares for its most vulnerable populations.
It will be necessary for us Indians - Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Parsis and all others to whom India is their home - to recognize a common flag to live and die for.
When you surrender completely to God, as the only truth worth having, you find yourself in service of all that exists. It becomes your joy and recreation. You never tire of serving others.
The greater our innocence, the greater our strength and the swifter our victory
Don't let anybody walk trough your mind with dirty feet.
I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonour. But I believe that nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment.
I know that in embarking on non-violence I shall be running what might be termed a mad risk. But the victories of truth have never been won without risks.
I regard myself as a soldier, though a soldier of peace.
What you feel and how you react to something is always up to you. There may be a "normal" or a common way to react to different things. But that's mostly just all it is.
