I wear the national dress

I wear the national dress 

because it is the most 

natural and the most

 becoming for an Indian.

Gandhi ji

What difference does it make

What difference does it make to the dead,

 the orphans and the homeless,

 whether the mad destruction is wrought

 under the name of totalitarianism 

or the holy name of liberty or democracy

Gandhi ji

One needs to be slow

One needs to be slow 

to form convictions,

 but once formed they must be

 defended against the heaviest odds

Gandhi ji

It is better to be violent

It is better to be violent,

 if there is violence in our hearts,

 than to put on the cloak of nonviolence

 to cover impotence.

Gandhi ji

I cannot teach you violence

I cannot teach you violence, 

as I do not myself believe in it.

 I can only teach you not to bow 

your heads before any one

 even at the cost of your life.

Gandhi ji

Strength does not come

Strength does not come 

from physical capacity. 

It comes from an indomitable will

Gandhi ji
