Mahatma Gandhi

Sense perceptions can be and often are false and deceptive, however real they may appear to us. Where there is realization outside the senses it is infallible. It is proved not by extraneous evidence but in the transformed conduct and character of those who have felt the real presence of God within.

Faith itself cannot be proved by extraneous evidence... I confess that I have no argument to convince through reason. Faith transcends reason. All that I can advise is not to attempt the impossible.

Reject all that is contrary to truth and love.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

What kind of victory is is when someone is left defeated?

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment.

A nation that is capable of limitless sacrifice is capable of rising to limitless heights. The purer the sacrifice the quicker the progress.

Truth, purity, self-control, firmness, fearlessness, humility, unity, peace, and renunciacion - these are the inherent qualities of a civil resister.

Non-cooperation is a protest against an unwitting and unwilling participacion in evil.

It does not require money to be neat, clean and dignified.

To forget how to dig the earth and tend the soil is to forget ourselves.

Mahatma Gandhi's personal mission statement:

Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:

• I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
• I shall fear only God.
• I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
• I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
• I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.
