Gandhi

I am not at all concerned with appearing to be consistent. In my
pursuit after Truth I have discarded many ideas and learnt many new
things.

An eye for an eye only succeeds in making the whole world blind.

God has no religion.

"My optimism rests on my belief in the infinite possibilities of the individual to develop nonviolence. . . . In a gentle way you can shake the world."

To a true artist only that face is beautiful which, quite apart from its exterior, shines with the truth within the soul.

It is not given to man to know the whole Truth. His duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence.

God alone knows absolute truth. Therefore, I have often said, Truth is God. It follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth.

Nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. This is God's attribute alone. Relative truth is all we know. Therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. Such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.

The future depends on what we do in the present.

A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

Truth is as hard as adamant and tender as a blossom.

It is possible to live in peace.
