Mental violence has no potency and injures only the person whose thoughts are violent. It is otherwise with mental non-violence. It has potency which the world does not yet know.
Mahatma GandhiIn a plan of life based on nonviolence, woman has as much right to shape her own destiny as man has to shape his.
Mahatma GandhiNonviolence in politics is a new weapon in the process of evolution; its vast possibilities are yet unexplored.
Mahatma GandhiSacrifice that causes pain is no sacrifice at all. True sacrifice is joy-giving and uplifting.
Mahatma GandhiMan has reason, discrimination and free-will such as it is. The brute has no such thing. It is not a free agent, and knows no distinction between virtue and vice, good and evil. Man, being a free agent, knows these distinctions, and when he follows his higher nature, shows himself far superior to the brute, but when he follows his baser nature can show himself lower than the brute.
Mahatma Gandhi
