Nonviolence Daily

And if we go deeply into the matter, we shall come across men in every walk of life who lead dedicated lives. No doubt these sacrifices obtain their livelihood by their work, but their livelihood is not their objective, but only a byproduct of their vocation. 

-Gandhi, Yeravda Mandir

Formerly, when people wanted to fight with one another, they measured between them their bodily strength; now, it is possible to take away thousands of lives by one man working behind a gun from a hill. This is civilization.... This civilization is such that one has only to be patient and it will be self-destroyed.

-Gandhi, Speeches and Writings of Mahatma Gandhi

A democrat must be utterly selfless. He must think and dream, not in terms of self or of party, but only of democracy.

But as our nonviolence was the nonviolence of the weak, the leaven did not spread. Had we adopted nonviolence as the weapon of the strong, because we realize that it was more effective than any other weapon, in fact, the mightiest force in the world, we would have made use of its full potency and not have discarded it as soon as the fight against the British was over.
