Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Be The Peace You Wish To See In The World!
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind.
Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.
In the application of Satyagraha, I discovered, in the earliest stages, that pursuit of Truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy. For, what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of Truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent but one's own self.
Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.
I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.
In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.
The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
The good man is the friend of all living things.
Real suffering bravely borne, melts even a heart of stone. Such is the potency of suffering. And there lies the key to Satyagraha.
Satyagraha is the pursuit of truth. My grandfather believed that truth should be the cornerstone of everybody's life and that we must dedicate our lives to pursuing truth, to finding out the truth in our lives. And so his entire philosophy was the philosophy of life. It was not just a philosophy for conflict resolution, but something that we have to imbibe in our life and live it all the time so that we can improve and become better human beings.
Satyagraha is a force that has come to stay. No force in the world can kill it.
A satyagrahi is dead to his body even before the enemy attempts to kill him.
Satyagraha can rid society of all evils, political, economic and moral.
A satyagrahi has always his minimum and it is this minimum that is wanted in connection with this struggle.
