WORDS OF GANDHI(Mahatma)

FREEDOM/INDEPENDENCE
Freedom is like birth. Till we are fully free, we are slaves.
Freedom received through the efforts of others, however benevolent, cannot be retained when such effort is withdrawn.
No charter of freedom will be worth looking at which does not ensure the same measure of freedom for the minorities as for the majority.
No society can possibly be built on a denial of individual freedom
True nonviolence should mean a complete freedom from illwill and anger and hate and an overflowing love for all.
This freedom from all attachment is the realization of God as Truth.
I do not want my house to be walled in on sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible.
Independence means voluntary restraints and discipline, voluntary acceptance of the rule of law.
Independence of my conception means nothing less than the realization of the "Kingdom of God" within you and on this earth.
Complete independence does not mean arrogant isolation or a superior disdain for all help.
If it is man's privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent.

JUSTICE
Justice will come when it is deserved by our being and feeling strong.
Justice does not help those who slumber but helps only those who are vigilant.
Peace will not come out of a clash of arms but out of justice lived and done by unarmed nations in the face of odds

MORAL FORCE/MORALITY
Moral results can only be produced by moral restraints.
Moral authority is never retained by any attempt to hold on to it. It comes without seeking and is retained without effort.
True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding out the true path for ourselves and in fearlessly following it.
To observe morality is to attain mastery over our mind and our passions.
Performance of duty and observance of morality are convertible

PASSIVE RESISTANCE
Passive resistance is a method of securing rights by personal suffering; it is the reverse of resistance by arms.
Passive resistance is an all-sided sword; it can be used anyhow; it blesses him who uses it and him against whom it is used.
Passive resistance is a misnomer for nonviolent resistance. It is active than violent resistance.
Passive resistance, unlike nonviolence, has no power to change men' s hearts.
The sword of passive resistance does not require a scabbard.
Jesus Christ, Daniel and Socrates represented the purest form of passive resistance or soul force.

TRUTH
Truth is what the voice within tells you.
Truth is the right designation of God.
Truth and nonviolence will never be destroyed.
Truth is like a vast tree which yields more and more fruit the more you nurture it.
Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time.
Truth and untruth often con-exist; good and evil often are found together.
Truth is self-evident, nonviolence is its maturest fruit, it is contained in Truth, but is not self-evident.
Every truth is self-acting and possesses inherent strength.
Truth, which is permanent, eludes the historian of events. Truth transcends history.
Truth and nonviolence demand that no human being may debar himself from serving any other human being, no matter how sinful he may be.
Truth is the first to be sought for, and Beauty and Goodness will then be added unto you.
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.
Truth without humility would be an arrogant caricature.
The quest of truth involves self-suffering, sometimes even upto death.
Use truth as your anvil, nonviolence as your hammer and anything that does not stand the test when it is brought to the anvil of truth and hammered with nonviolence, reject it.
