For satyagraha and its offshoots, non-co-operation and civil resistance, are nothing but new names for the law of suffering.
Mahatma GandhiLife becomes livable only to the extent that death is treated as a friend, never as an enemy.
Mahatma GandhiNo one should dogmatize about the capacity of human nature for degradation or exaltation.
Mahatma GandhiThe path of self-purification is hard and steep. One has to become absolutely passion-free in thought, speech and action to rise above the opposing currents of love and hatred, attachment and repulsion. I know that I have not in me as yet that triple purity in spite of constant ceaseless striving for it. That is why the world's praise fails to move me, indeed it very often stings me. To conquer the subtle passions seems to me to be harder far than the physical conquest of the world by the force of arms.
