You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

The only safe and honorable course for a self-respecting man is to do what I have decided to do, that is, to submit without protest to the penalty of disobedience ... not for want of respect for lawful authority, but in obedience to the higher law of our being, the voice of conscience.

A man who has broken with his past feels a different man. He will not feel it a shame to confess his past wrongs, for the simple reason that these wrongs do not touch him at all.

Don't listen to friends when the Friend inside you says, "Do this!"

In matters of conscience, the law of majority has no place.

The still small voice within you must always be the final arbiter when there is a conflict of duty.

... in the midst of death life persists ...

The wise are unaffected either by death or life. These are but faces of the same coin.

It is for us to make the effort. The result is always in God's hands.

I own no enemy on earth. That is my creed.
