Ahimsa is an attribute of the brave. Cowardice and ahimsa don't go together any more that water and fire.
Everyone has faith in God though everyone does not know it. For everyone has faith in himself and that multiplied to the nth degree is God. The sum total of all that lives is God. We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean.
I would rather drown myself in the waters of the Sabarmati than harbour hate or animosity in my heart.
We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean.
When a man fasts, it is not the gallons of water he drinks that sustains him, but God.
All religions enjoined worship of the One God who is all-pervasive. He is present even in a drop of water or in a tiny speck of dust.
The spinning wheel is as much a necessity of Indian life as air and water.
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
