Life becomes livable only to the extent that death is treated as a friend, never as an enemy.
Mahatma GandhiTo answer brutality with brutality is to admit one's moral and intellectual bankruptcy.
Mahatma GandhiNon-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. Non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. Non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. Non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. Perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. Non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.
Mahatma Gandhi
