Since satyagraha is a method of conversion and conviction, it seeks never to use the slightest coercion.

Mahatma Gandhi

Satyagraha means insistence on what one knows to be the truth. The insistence implies the exercise of free will as the need of social obligation. If one is content to know the truth himself, he does not become a votary of Satyagraha. A Satyagrahi should not only know the truth but should insist upon it in social relations. So Satyagraha is activation of truthfulness.

Goparaju Ramachandra Rao

I have repeatedly stated that satyagraha never fails and that one perfect satyagrahi is enough to vindicate Truth.

Mahatma Gandhi

Hope is like air if not built on a fertile ground. A ground that requires attention and nurturing. You cannot stop working on that ground even if the hope is sprouting higher into the sky.

Michael Bassey

A satyagrahi exhausts all other means before he resorts to satyagraha.

Mahatma Gandhi

No police officer could compel a satyagrahi to give evidence against a person who has confessed to him. A satyagrahi would never be guilty of a betrayal of trust.

Mahatma Gandhi

Never lose hope, be persistent and stubborn and never give up. There are many instances in history where apparent losers suddenly turn out to be winners unexpectedly, so you should never conclude all hope is lost.

Theodore Kaczynski

Instantaneous and mass communication is the mother of mass naivety. Should we then lose hope? Is there any hope? But to lose hope is as dangerous as to nurture false hope. Where then can we find hope that is responsible?

Tariq Ramadan

Never lose faith in yourself, and never lose hope; remember, even when this world throws its worst and then turns its back, there is still always hope.

Pittacus Lore

A satyagrahi has no other stay but God, and he who has any other stay or depends on any other help cannot offer satyagraha.

Mahatma Gandhi

There's always hope. You can lose everything else in the world, but Jews never lose hope.

Jonathan Sacks

While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first personality, which no one should copy.

Oscar Wilde

Once we have a sense of how long a decision should take, we generally should delay the moment of decision until the last possible instant. If we have an hour, we should wait 59 minutes before responding. If we have a year, we should wait 364 days. Even if we have just half a second, we should wait as long as we possibly can ... Life might be a race against time but it is enriched when we rise above our instincts and stop the clock to process and understand what we are doing and why. A wise decision requires reflection, and reflection requires a pause.

Frank Partnoy

You should believe in your talent and potential. Never lose hope.

Malala Yousafzai

This was our common ground, the secret we shared but never spoke aloud. I should have been with him; she should have left him alone. Shoulda, coulda, woulda. It's so easy in the past tense.
