Mahatma Gandhi
Indian - Leader
October 2, 1869 - January 30, 1948

Ahimsa is not mere negative non-injury. It is positive, cosmic love. It is the development of a mental attitude in which hatred is replaced by love. Ahimsa is true sacrifice. Ahimsa is forgiveness. Ahimsa is Sakti (power). Ahimsa is true strength.

Sivananda

In an atmosphere of ahimsa, one has no scope to put his ahimsa to the test. It can be tested only in the face of himsa.

Mahatma Gandhi

Ahimsa is an attribute of the brave. Cowardice and ahimsa don't go together any more that water and fire.

Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi was a man of peace and non-violence and lived by the Hindu principle of ahimsa, action based on refusal to do harm. As his war-strewn presidency shows, George Bush knows nothing about ahimsa and non-violence. Bush should reconsider this cynical, disrespectful display of symbolism.

True ahimsa should mean a complete freedom from ill-will and anger and hate and an overflowing love for all.

Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi

For me the only certain means of knowing God is nonviolence, ahimsa, love.

Mahatma Gandhi

I never imagined I would wear a silk sari as I practice Ahimsa.

Amala Akkineni

You should not cause hurt even by a word, a look or a gesture. Tolerance, fortitude, equanimity - these help you to be steady in ahimsa (absence of violence).
