Nonviolence succeeds only when we have a real living faith in God.
You cannot succeed in one department of life while cheating on another, life is an indivisible whole.
Nonviolent non-co-operators can only succeed when they have succeeded in attaining control over the hooligans of India.
I hold too that whatever may be true of other countries, a bloody revolution will not succeed in India.
The Charkha, which is the embodiment of willing obedience and calm persistence, must therefore succeed before there is civil disobedience.
In Gujarat Hitler's life and works have been glorified in school textbooks which is a very serious matter,
The mice which helplessly find themselves between the cats' teeth acquire no merit from their enforced sacrifice
What is true is that honesty is incompatible with the amassing of a large fortune
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
To put up with. . . distortions and to stick to one's guns come what may -- this is the. . . gift of leadership.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
