The Britisher is the top dog and the Indian the underdog in his own country.
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless a creature the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of humankind.
Even the dog is described by the poet to have received justice under Ramarajya.
To kill these (rabid) dogs, in my opinion, amount to himsa, but I believe it to be inevitable if we are to escape much greater himsa.
Every species, human and subhuman, has some distinguishing mark, so that you can tell a man from a beast, or a dog from a cow.
Free, open love I have looked upon as dog's love. Secret love is, besides, cowardly.
Roving dogs do not indicate the civilisation or compassion of the society. They betray on the country the ignorance and lethargy of its members.
Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.
An eye for an eye and everyone shall be blind
Satisfaction lies in the effort not the attainment. Full effort is full victory.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
