In the face of such a government that advocates "civilization" and reasoning, if you are more civilized and humane than him, and if you are preached to the world, and if you prevent him from stepping down, then the goal of the struggle will be achieved. But American photojournalist Margaret Burke White once asked Gandhi whether "non-violence and non-cooperation" is also the best way to fight against the totalitarian dictatorship of the Nazi government? Gandhi's answer was: "When I despair, I remember that in history only truth and love can prevail. There are many tyrants and murderers in history, who may be invincible in the short term, but they will always fail in the end, think about it. Come to think of it, it will always be like this.”

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."
