A good person will resist an evil system with his whole soul. Disobedience of the laws of an evil state is therefore a duty.
Mahatma GandhiVoluntary service of others demands the best of which one is capable, and must take precedence over service of self.
Mahatma GandhiTo me I seem to be constantly growing. I must respond to varying conditions, yet remain changeless within.
Mahatma GandhiThose who are truthful, nonviolent and brave do not cease to be so because of the stupidity of their leader.
Mahatma GandhiI have found by experience that man makes his plans to be upset by God, but, at the same time, where the ultimate goal is the search of truth, on matter how a man's plans are frustrated the issue is never injurious and often better than anticipated.
Mahatma GandhiThe science of war leads one to dictatorship, pure and simple. The science of non-violence alone can lead one to pure democracy. Power based on love is thousand times more effective and permanent than power derived from fear of punishment. It is a blasphemy to say non-violence can be practiced only by individuals and never by nations which are composed of individuals. The nearest approach to purest anarchy would be a democracy based on non-violence. A society organized and run on the basis of complete non-violence would be the purest anarchy.
