Even today more important than ever: the most beautiful quotes from Mahatma Gandhi

There is no way to peace, because peace is the way.

What you win by force, you can only keep by force.

An eye for an eye - and the whole world will be blind.

Strength does not come from physical strength - rather from an indomitable will.

If we want to achieve true peace in the world, we have to start with the children.

History teaches people that history teaches people nothing.

You only become rich through things you don't desire.

Love is the strongest power in the world, and yet it is the most humble imaginable.

I believe in non-violence as the only remedy.

Where love grows, life flourishes - where hate arises, destruction threatens.

There are more important things in life than constantly increasing its speed.
