More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi

A non-violent soldier of freedom will covet nothing for himself, he fights only for the freedom of his country.

"An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so."

The ideally non-violent state will be an ordered anarchy. That State is the best governed which is governed the least.

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.

A good person will resist an evil system with his whole soul. Disobedience of the laws of an evil state is therefore a duty.
