Quotes of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi-ji, the Mahatma "Great Soul".
"There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for."
"A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident."
"All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth."
"An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind."
"Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding."
"Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up. "
"Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position."
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
"Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit."
"After long study and experience, I have come to the conclusion that [1] all religions are true; [2] all religions have some error in them; [3] all religions are almost as dear to me as my own Hinduism, in as much as all human beings should be as dear to one as one's own close relatives. My own veneration for other faiths is the same as that for my own faith; therefore no thought of conversion is possible."
