A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.
We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to Please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.
Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.
God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.
If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.
Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.
Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.
Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.
Prayer is not asking.It is a longing of the soul.It is daily admission of one's weakness.In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
Self-respect knows no considerations.
In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.
There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts.
The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity.
The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.
We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?
HAPPY GANDHI JAYANTHI.
