I believe that the sum total of the energy of mankind is not to bring us down but to lift us up, and that is the result of the definite, if unconscious, working of the law of love. The fact that mankind persists shows that the cohesive force is greater than the disruptive force, centripetal force greater than centrifugal.
Mahatma GandhiWith God as witness, I want to proclaim this truth, that the way of violence cannot bring Swaraj, it can only lead to disaster.
Mahatma GandhiThe power of nonviolent resistance can only come from honest working of the constructive programme.
Mahatma GandhiDetachment is not indifference. it is the prerequisite for effective involvement. Often what we think is best for others is distorted by our attachments to our opinions. We want others to be happy in the way we think they should be happy. It is only when we want nothing for ourselves that we are able to see clearly into others needs and understand how to serve them.
Mahatma Gandhi
