We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.

Love is the most humble force, but the most powerful available to the world.

An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.

Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.

Non-violence is a weapon of the strong.

For a nonviolent person, the whole world is one family.

Everyone in the world knows that Jesus and His teachings were nonviolent except Christians.

Jesus was the most active resister known perhaps to history. His was non-violence par excellence.
