Remembering

Some things that I like to remember. We could argue about it.

• 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.

• I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

• I want freedom for the full expression of my personality.

• It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.

• One needs to be slow to form convictions, but once formed they must be defended against the heaviest odds.

• Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

• Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

• You must be the change you want to see in the world.

• Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.
