More From Mahatma Gandhi

Veganism is about nonviolence: nonviolence to other sentient beings; nonviolence to yourself; nonviolence to the earth.
Earth Sentient Beings Nonviolence
It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.
Truth Lying Mean
Whilst i may not actually help anyone to retaliate, i must not let a coward seek shelter behind nonviolence so-called. not knowing the stuff of which nonviolence is made, many have honestly believed that running away from danger every time was a virtue compared to offering resistance, especially when it was fraught with danger to one's life. as a teacher of nonviolence i must, so far as it is possible for me, guard against such an unmanly belief.
Running Teacher Offering
There is no self-interest completely unrelated to others' interests. due to the fundamental interconnectedness which lies at the heart of reality, your interest is also my interest. from this it becomes clear that "my" interest and "your" interest are intimately connected. in a deep sense, they converge.
Lying Heart Reality
Creative capitalism takes this interest in the fortunes of others and ties it to our interest in our own fortunes in ways that help advance both. this hybrid engine of self-interest and concern for others can serve a much wider circle of people than can be reached by self-interest or caring alone.
Caring Self Circles
Truth and nonviolence are both the means and the end, and given the right type of men, the legislatures can be the means of achieving the concrete pursuit of truth and nonviolence.

Similar Quotes
Love is a striking example of how little reality means to us.
Mean Reality Love Is
You do not know how much they mean to me, my friends, and how, how rare and strange it is, to find in a life composed so much, so much of odds and ends, (for indeed i do not love it ... you knew? you are not blind! how keen you are!) to find a friend who has these qualities, who has, and gives those qualities upon which friendship lives. how much it means that i say this to you- without these friendships-life, what cauchemar!
Mean Odds Giving
All of this passes, and none of it means anything to me.it's all foreign to my fate, and even to fate as a whole. it'sjust unconsciousness, curses of protest when chance hurlsstones, echoes of unknown voices - a collectivemishmash of life.
Mean Fate Echoes
I'm hungry for a cold and mean character - i'd love it if someone thought i could play gritty. i want to play a baddie, someone really scary.
Character Mean Play
