“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

That's my favorite Ghandi quote by far.

“I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.” - Ghandi

Haha. And Ghandi died in 1948 far before everyone became a photographer/videographer. I could just imagine some idiot recording Ghandi while yelling, "World Star! World Star! This ****s going on World Star baby!"

And here is the quote I referred to in response to heyhey and triple k's comments above. . . .

“I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

I take that as embracing the unexpected result of human devotion to various religions leading towards some profound commonalities, the more we think it through. . . .

I'm not laughing, but I can see your wit. I have to admit I see Gandhi as more of a worldly philosopher rather than a religious figure. I see him as a product influenced by his British education towards what I see as a sort of "progressive/western/nationalist" twentieth century phenomenon. The sad thing is that his efforts to unite Hindu and Muslims in harmony as a single nation was too easily disrupted, I think by what I call typical British divisionism. Whenever any nation rises to the power to challenge the Anglophile Empire, you will see a war or something else competent to break it up happen somehow. . . .

India has since 1948 remained impotent on the world stage, following the general trend in world politics and business without finding it's own feet on the ground.
