There Is No Beauty In The Finest

There Is No Need Of A Teacher For Those Who Know How To Think.

India Unarmed Would Not Require To Be Destroyed Through Poison Gas Or Bombardment.

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.

The Science Of War Leads One To Dictatorship, Pure And Simple. The Science Of Non-violence Alone Can Lead One To Pure Democracy. Power Based On Love Is Thousand Times More Effective And Permanent Than Power Derived From Fear Of Punishment. It Is A Blasphemy To Say Non-violence Can Be Practiced Only By Individuals And Never By Nations Which Are Composed Of Individuals. The Nearest Approach To Purest Anarchy Would Be A Democracy Based On Non-violence. A Society Organized And Run On The Basis Of Complete Non-violence Would Be The Purest Anarchy.

I Do Not Want To Foresee The Future. I Am Concerned With Taking Care Of The Present. God Has Given Me No Control Over The Moment Following.
