Protection of the Helpless – Mahatma Gandhi
“I believe that the more helpless a creature is, the more it is entitled to be protected by humans from the cruelty of humans.”
Mahatma Gandhi
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, known as Mahatma Gandhi, was the leader of the Indian independence struggle against British colonial rule. He effectively used nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience and influenced human rights and freedom movements worldwide.
“I believe that the more helpless a creature is, the more it is entitled to be protected by humans from the cruelty of humans.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“The state represents violence in a concentrated and organized form. The individual has a soul, but as the state is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“The world cannot be improved if everyone blindly follows the majority. It needs people who have the courage to question the seemingly irrefutable, who dare to question authority and use their own minds.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“… we have to learn to use that force (love) among all that lives, and in the use of it consists our knowledge of God. Where there is love there is life; hatred leads to destruction.”
Mahatma Gandhi
