Jail-going is only the beginning, not the end of satyagraha. The acme of satyagraha for us would be to lay down our lives for the defence of India's just cause.
Mahatma GandhiHarshness is conquered by gentleness, hatred by love, lethargy by zeal and darkness by light.
Mahatma GandhiMy religion enables me, obliges me to imbibe all that is good in all the great religions of the earth.
Mahatma GandhiIn the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth, truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.
Mahatma GandhiNon-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
