Gandhi

It is a mystery to me how a person can feel honored by the humiliation of his fellow human beings.

A man is but a product of his thoughts; what he thinks, that he becomes.

I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.

It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity.

Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as cooperation with good.

Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.

Truth never damages a cause that is just.
- All from Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, 1869 - 1948

About: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born at Porbandar, Kathiawad, India in 1869. From his early career in law to his assassination while preparing to pray in 1948 the Mahatma (Sanskrit for "great soul") preached nonviolence, and to the surprise and consternation of the South African and colonial Indian governments he changed his world. He is India's 'Father of the Nation'.
