3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, but 9 is not prime; -in this incarnation.
Mahatma Gandhi -
So far as I can see, the atomic bomb has deadened the finest feeling that has sustained for ages. There used to be so-called laws of war, which made it tolerable. Now we know the truth. War knows no law except that of might. The atomic bomb brought an empty victory but it resulted for the time being in destroying the soul of Japan. What has happened to the soul of the destroying nation is yet too early to see.

The eternal duel between Ormuzd and Ahriman, God and Satan, is raging in my breast, which is one among their billion battlefields.
Mahatma Gandhi -
My only sanction is the love and affection in which you hold me. But it has its weaknesses, as it has its strengths.
Mahatma Gandhi -
If you love peace, then hate injustice, hate tyranny, hate greed, but hate these things in yourself, not in another.

Between the two, the nationalist and the imperialist, there is no meeting ground.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Well, India is a country of nonsense.
Mahatma Gandhi -
I have always held that social justice, even to the least the lowliest, is impossible of attainment by force.
Mahatma Gandhi -
The 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.
Mahatma Gandhi -
A clean confession combined with a promise never to commit the sin again, when offered before one who has the right to receive it, is the purest type of repentance.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Think of the poorest person you know and see if your next act will be of any use to him.
Mahatma Gandhi

I have not conceived my mission to be that of a knight-errant wandering everywhere to deliver people from difficult situations. My humble occupation has been to show people how they can solve their own difficulties.

Mahatma Gandhi -
What you feel and how you react to something is always up to you. There may be a "normal" or a common way to react to different things. But that's mostly just all it is.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Adaptability is not imitation. It means power of resistance and assimilation.
Mahatma Gandhi -
If India is not to declare spiritual bankruptcy, religious instruction of its youth must be held to be at least as necessary as secular instruction.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
Religion is no test of nationality, but a personal matter between man and his God.
Mahatma Gandhi -
It only confirms me in my belief that there is no Swaraj without a settlement with the Mussalmans.
Mahatma Gandhi -
I consider Western Christianity in its practical working a negation of Christ's Christianity.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Hinduism is a relentless pursuit of Truth. "Truth is God" and if today it has become moribund, inactive, irresponsive to growth, it is because we are fatigued; and as soon as the fatigue is over, Hinduism will burst upon the world with a brilliance perhaps unknown before.
