Forgiveness is choosing to love.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Nonviolence is not a weapon of the weak. It is a weapon of the strongest and bravest.

Man can only conceive God within the limitation of his own mind.

Man has always desired power. Ownership of property gives this power. Man hankers also after posthumous fame based on power.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

The real difficulty is that people have no idea of what education truly is. We assess the value of education in the same manner as we assess the value of land or of shares in the stock-exchange market. We want to provide only such education as would enable the student to earn more. We hardly give any thought to the improvement of the character of the educated. The girls, we say, do not have to earn; so why should they be educated? As long as such ideas persist there is no hope of our ever knowing the true value of education.
