It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.Mohandas Gandhi
In the application of Satyagraha, I discovered, in the earliest stages, that pursuit of Truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy. For, what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of Truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent but one's own self.
Mohandas Gandhi
If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.
Mohandas Gandhi
Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.
Mohandas Gandhi
An opponent is entitled to the same regard for his principles as we would expect others to have for ours. Non-violence demands that we should seek every opportunity to win over opponents.
Mohandas Gandhi

There is a set of religious, or rather moral, writings which teach that virtue is the certain road to happiness, and vice to misery in this world. A very wholesome and comfortable doctrine, and to which we have but one objection, namely, that it is not true.
