Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain. - Mahatma Gandhi

چیزی در درونم مرا وامی دارد رنج خود را با صدای بلند فریاد کنم.من نیک دانسته ام که چه باید بکنم.آنچه در درونم هست و هرگز فریبم نمی دهد اکنون به من می گوید:باید در مقابل دنیا بایستی،حتی اگر تنها بمانی.باید چشم در چشم دنیا بدوزی،حتی اگر دنیا با چشمان خون گرفته به تو بنگرد.ترس به دل راه نده.به سخن آن موجود کوچکی که در قلبت خانه دارد اطمینان کن که می گوید:دوستان،همسر،و همه چیز و همه کس را رها کن و فقط به آنچه برایش زیسته ای و به خاطرش باید بمیری شهادت بده

The indirect influence of Christianity has been to quicken Hinduism to life. The cultured Hindu society has admitted its grievous sin against the untouchables. But the effect of Christianity upon India in general must be judged by the life lived in our midst by the average Christian and its effect upon us. I am sorry to have to re record my opinion that it has been disastrous. It pains me to have to say that the Christian missionaries as a body, with honourable exceptions, have actively supported a system which has impoverished, enervated and demoralised a people considered to be among the gentlest and most civilized on earth...

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.
