Mahatma Gandhi

Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment.

We win justice quickest by rendering justice to the other party.

There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts.

I think it is the height of ignorance to believe that the sexual act is an independent function necessary like sleeping or eating. Seeing, therefore, that I did not desire more children, I began to strive after self-control. There was endless difficulty in the task.

When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes irresistible.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?

The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.

Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

For me every ruler is alien that defies public opinion.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake.
