Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
The best and the most solid work was done in the wilderness of minority.
In every great cause it is not the number of fighters that counts, but it is the quality of which they are made that becomes the deciding factor. The greatest prophets, Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus, Mahommed-they all stood alone... But they had living faith in themselves and their God, and believing as they did that God was on their side, they never felt lonely.
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.
Love is the strongest force the world possesses and yet it is the humblest imaginable.
To my mind the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body. I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.
We have here (in Yerbada prison) learned to recognize friends among animals. We have a cat who is a revelation. And if we had vision enough, we should appreciate the language of trees and plants, and value their friendship.
The example of a few true men and women if they have fully imbibed the spirit of non-violence is bound to infect the whole mass in the end.
Exploitation of the poor can be extinguished not by effecting the destruction of a few millionaires, but by removing the ignorance of the poor and teaching them to non-cooperate with their exploiters.That will convert the exploiters too.
There is no place on earth and no race, which is not capable of producing the finest types of humanity, given suitable opportunities and education.
We can only win over the opponent by love, never by hate. Hate is the subtlest form of violence.
Hatred injures the hater, never the hated.
If light can come out of darkness, then alone can love emerge from hatred
