A man or a woman who serves the country with all his or her heart stands on par with the tallest Congress-man.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

I learned from my illiterate but wise mother that all rights to be deserved and preserved came from duty well done. Thus the very right to live accrues to us only when we do the duty of citizenship of the world. From this one fundamental statement, perhaps it is easy enough to define the duties of Man and Woman and correlate every right to some corresponding duty to be first performed. Every other right can be shown to be a usurpation hardly worth fighting for.

Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.

To change one's religion under the threat of force is no conversion but rather cowardice.

The real implication of equal distribution is that each man shall have the wherewithal to supply all his natural needs and no more.

Nonviolence is the law of our species as violence is the law of the brute. The spirit lies dormant in the brute, and he knows no law but that of physical might. The dignity of man requires obedience to a higher laws - to the strength of the spirit.

It is an ever-growing belief with me that truth cannot be found by violent means.

I contend that non-violent acts exert pressure far more effective than violent acts, for the pressure comes from goodwill and gentleness.

Education should be so revolutionized as to answer the wants of the poorest villager, instead of answering those of an imperial exploiter.
