1.If your enemy strikes you on the right cheek, offer him the left. —The New Testament You must show courage, be willing to take a blow, several blows to show you won't strike back, nor will you be turned aside . And when you do that, it calls on something in human nature that makes his hatred for you decrease and his respect increase. I think Christ grasped that, and I have seen it work.

2. The only devils in the world are those running around in our own hearts. And that is where all our battles ought to be fought.

3. When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murders, and for a while they can seem invincible, ubut in the end, they always fall. Think of it. Always.

    The old man is indeed not simple, and his policy of "non-violence, non-cooperation" is indeed worth thinking about. But all of this, the anti-foreign oppression policy that has been proved to be extremely effective by history in Asan, can it really be implemented well when it penetrates deep into the country? Look at today's India, where there are distinct racial classes, how can there be any trace of democracy inherited from the old man? So what happens when we come to China? There is a gap between reality and ideal.

Gandhi quotes

  • Lord Irwin, Viceroy: Mr. Gandhi will find that it takes a great deal more than a pinch of salt to bring down the British Empire.

  • Edward R. Murrow: [at Gandhi's funeral] The object of this massive tribute died as he had always lived - a private man without wealth, without property, without official title or office. Mahatma Gandhi was not a commander of great armies nor ruler of vast lands. He could boast no scientific achievements or artistic gift. Yet men, governments and dignitaries from all over the world have joined hands today to pay homage to this little brown man in the loincloth who led his country to freedom. Pope Pius, the Archbishop of Canterbury, President Truman, Chiang Kai-shek, The Foreign Minister of Russia, the President of France... are among the millions here and abroad who have lamented his passing. In the words of General George C. Marshall, the American Secretary of State, "Mahatma Gandhi had become the spokesman for the conscience of mankind, a man who made humility and simple truth more powerful than empires." And Albert Einstein added, "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth."
