When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking.

If we are to reach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with children; and if they will grow up in their natural innocence, we won't have to struggle; we won't have to pass fruitless idle resolutions, but we shall go from love to love and peace to peace, until at last all the corners of the world are covered with that peace and love for which consciously or unconsciously the whole world is hungering.

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it.

Evil is, good or truth misplaced.
It does not require money, to live neat, clean and dignified..
It is better to allow our lives to speak for us than our words.
I don't reject Christ. I love Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike Christ.
The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear.
A small group of determined and like-minded people can change the course of history.
The day a woman can walk freely on the roads at night, that day we can say that India has achieved independence
God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly.
