Gandhi's Words

"Man becomes what he eats. The grosser the food the grosser the body"

"Non-violence is the law of our species as violence is the law of the brute. The spirit lies dormant in the brute and he knows no law but that of physical might. The dignity of man requires obedience to another law—to the strength of the spirit"

"Complete independence through truth and non-violence means the independence of every unit, be it the humblest of the nation, without distinction of race, colour or creed"

"If India won her freedom through truth and non-violence, India would not only point the way to all the exploited Asiatic nations, she would become a torch-bearer for the Negro races"

"Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart and it must be an inseparable part of our very being"

"My service to my people is part of the discipline to which I subject myself to in order to free my soul from the bonds of the flesh...For me the path of salvation leads through the unceasing tribulation in the service of my fellow countrymen and humanity"

"Willing submission to social restraint for the sake of the well-being of the whole of society, enriches both the individual and the society of which he is a member"

"A country that is governed by even its national army can never be morally free"

"What is a man if he is not a thief who openly charges as much as he can for the goods he sells?"
