Mahatma Gandhi Quotes - Page 11

• When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where.

It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.

But so long as we have got this inequality, so long we are thieving.

The changes in the season affect it. It has its autumn and its summer, its winter and its spring. It is, and is not, based on scriptures. It does not derive its authority from one book. Non violence has found the highest expression and application in Hinduism.
