The stability of the State depends upon the readiness of every citizen to subordinate his rights to those of the rest.
Mahatma GandhiIn the characteristics of the perfected man of the Gita, I do not see any to correspond to physical warfare.
Mahatma GandhiI do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonour. But I believe that nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment.
