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.
The method of satyagraha requires that the satyagrahi should never lose hope, so long as there is the slightest ground left for it.
There is no hope for the aching world except through the narrow and straight path of nonviolence.
To believe that what has not occurred in history will not occur at all, is to argue disbelief in the dignity of man.
Always believe in your dreams, because if you don't, you'll still have hope.
What is true of the individual will be tomorrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.
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.
Be the change that you want to see in the world.
