Mahatma Gandhi 2

Mahtama Gandhi on Non-violence
My religion is based on truth and non-violence.
Truth is my God.
Non-violence is the means of realizing Him. 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 is the article of faith.
Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind.
It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.
Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.
Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.
Nonviolence is the first article of my faith.
It is also the last article of my creed.
Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.
Peace is its own reward.
Poverty is the worst form of violence.
It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.
