Indian independence activist and leader who played a key role in the peaceful resistance movement against British colonial rule
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.
I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.
The pursuit of truth does not permit violence on one's opponent.
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.
All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.
It is any day better to stand erect with a broken and bandaged head then to crawl on one's belly, in order to be able to save one's head.
The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.
The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within.
A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident.
