| Quotations |
|
"Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. Non-violence
is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. Non-violence springs
from love, cowardice from hate. Non-violence always suffers, cowardice
would always inflict suffering. Perfect non-violence is the highest bravery.
Non-violent conduct is never demoralising, cowardice always is."
|
|
"Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission
of one's weakness... It is better in prayer to have a heart without words
than words without a heart."
|
|
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you,
then you win."
|
| "The world is touched by sacrifice. It does not then discriminate
about the merits of a cause. Not so God - He is all seeing. He insists
on the purity of the cause and on adequate sacrifice thereof." |
| "Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession
of no one race or religion." |
|
Here is a joke about Ghandi that makes an interesting mnemonic device of
remembering.
Mahatma Ghandi walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that his feet became quite thick and hard.
He also was quite a spiritual person.
Even when he was not on a hunger strike, he did not eat much and became quite thin and frail.
Furthermore, due to his diet, he had bad breath...
He came to be known as a super calloused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis. |
