Remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS.
The man who fears man falls from the estate of man. Fear God alone.
The man who eats to live, who is friends with the five powers - earth, water, ether, sun and air - who is a servant of God, the Creator of all these, ought not to fall ill.
I am just not thinking of India's deliverance. It will come, but will it be worth if England and France fall, or if they come out victorious over Germany ruined and humbled?
The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. Freedom and slavery are mental states.
He who gives up action falls. He who gives up the reward rises. But renunciation of fruit in no way means indifference to the result.
Carrying arms for the removal of the Arms Act can never fall under any scheme of nonviolence.
There is nothing but nonviolence to fall back upon for retaining our freedom, even as we had to do for gaining it.
Man has regarded woman as his tool. She has learnt to be his tool and in the end found it is easy and pleasurable to be such, because when one drags another in his fall, the descent is easy.
I would ask you to come in Khadi, for Khadi links you with the fallen and the down-trodden.
It is possible for a single individual to defy the whole might of an unjust empire to save his honor, his religion, his soul, and lay the foundation for that empire's fall or its regeneration.
I believe in the essential unity of all that lives. Therefore, I believe that if one person gains spiritually, the whole world gains, and that if one person falls, the whole world falls to that extent.
Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment.
We may stumble and fall but shall rise again; it should be enough if we did not run away from the battle.
