Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
Man lives freely only by his readiness to die.
Where there is love there is life.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
Violent men have not been known in history to die to a man. They die up to a point.
For me, the different religions are beautiful flowers from the same garden, or they are branches of the same majestic tree. Therefore, they are equally true, though being received and interpreted through human instruments equally imperfect.
When I despair. remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall and think of it, always.
A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
The Roots of Violence: Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Commerce without morality, Science without humanity, Worship without sacrifice, Politics without principles.
Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning.
Whenever you are confronted with an opponent, conquer him with love.
Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.
Hatred ever kills, love never dies such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.
The test of friendship is assistance in adversity, and that too, unconditional assistance. Co-operation which needs consideration is a commercial contract and not friendship. Conditional co-operation is like adulterated cement which does not bind.
Whenever I see an erring man, I say to myself I have also erred; when I see a lustful man I say to myself, so was I once; and in this way I feel kinship with everyone in the world and feel that I cannot be happy without the humblest of us being happy.
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody will see it.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
My faith runs so very much faster than my reason that I can challenge the whole world and say, 'God is, was and ever shall be'.
You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.
I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.
I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.
I have worshiped woman as the living embodiment of the spirit of service and sacrifice.
If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.
If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.
In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.
Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
