The essence of a vow does not consist in the difficulty of its performance but in the determination behind it unflinchingly to stick to it in the teeth of difficulties.
Mahatma GandhiMany could forgo heavy meals, a full wardrobe, a fine house, etcetera. It is the ego they cannot forgo.
Mahatma GandhiTolerance gives us spiritual insight, which is as far from fanaticism as the north pole is from the south.
Mahatma GandhiIn my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good. But in the past, non-cooperation has been deliberately expressed in violence to the evildoer. I am endeavoring to show my countrymen that violent non-cooperation only multiplies evil and that evil can only be sustained by violence. Withdrawal of support of evil requires complete abstention from violence. Non-violence implies voluntary submission to the penalty for non-cooperation with evil.
