Gandhi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi ( 1869 – 1948) was the preeminent leader of Indian independence movement in British-ruled India. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahatma (Sanskrit: "high-souled", "venerable"^[3])—applied to him first in 1914 in South Africa,^[4]—is now used worldwide. He is also called Bapu "father," in India

Gandhi's quotations (citazioni)

Truth alone will endure (durera') all the rest will be swept away (spazzato via) before the tide (marea) of time. I must continue to bear testimony to truth . Mine may today be a voice in the wilderness, but it will be heard when all other voices are silenced, if it is the voice of Truth.

Religions are different roads converging to the same point. What does it matter that we take different road, so long as we reach the same goal. Wherein is the cause for quarrelling?

 I believe that nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment, forgiveness adorns a soldier.


We need to be the change we wish to see in the world.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

We must never submit to unjust laws. Never. And our resistance must be active and provocative.
