Democracy is a great institution and, therefore, it is liable to be greatly abused.
Democracy is an impossible thing until the power is shared by all, but let not democracy degenerate into mobocracy.
Democracy is not a state in which people act like sheep.
Democracy and violence can ill go together.
Evolution of democracy is not possible if we are not prepared to hear the other side.
Experience convinces me that permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence.
I do believe that woman will not make her contribution to the world by mimicking or running a race with men.
Democracy, disciplined and enlightened, is the finest thing in the world.
Economics that hurt the moral well-being of an individual or a nation are immoral and, therefore, sinful.
The spirit of democracy cannot be imposed from without. It has to come from within.
My notion of democracy is that under it the weakest should have the same opportunity as the strongest.
The spirit of democracy cannot be established in the midst of terrorism, whether governmental or popular.
A reformer cannot afford to have close intimacy with him who he seeks to reform.
Peace will not come out of a clash of arms but out of justice lived and done by unarmed nations in the face of odds.
Today machinery merely helps a few to ride on the backs of millions.
If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior.
If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with women.
My earthly possessions consist of six spinning wheels, prison dishes, a can of goat's milk, six homespun loin-cloths and towels, and my reputation which cannot be worth very much.
Happy Birthday, Gandhi.
