The earth has everything for all human needs, but nothing for his greed.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Temples are like spiritual hospitals, and the sinful, who are spiritually diseased, have the first right to be ministered to by them.
Mahatma Gandhi -
It's very dangerous to mix up the words natural and habitual. We have been trained to be quite habitual at communicating in ways that are quite unnatural.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.

I know that I have still before me a difficult path to traverse. I must reduce myself to zero. So long as a man does not of his own free will put himself last among his fellow creatures, there is no salvation for him. Ahimsa is the farthest limit of humility.

Democracy and violence can ill go together.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Knowledge gained through experience is far superior and many times more useful than bookish knowledge.
