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

Untouchability, I hold, is a sin, if Bhagavadgita is one of our Divine Books.

Mahatma Gandhi

Untouchability of foreign cloth is as much a virtue with all of us as untouchability of the suppressed classes must be a sin with every devout Hindu.

Mahatma Gandhi

We shall dig our own grave if we do not purge ourselves of this curse of untouchability.

Mahatma Gandhi

A man of prayer regards what are known as physical calamities as divine chastisement.

Mahatma Gandhi

Men live a moral life, either from regard to the Diving Being, or from regard to the opinion of the people in the world; and when a moral life is practised out of regard to the Divine Being, it is a spiritual life. Both appear alike in their outward form; but in their inward, they are completely different. The one saves a man, but the other does not; for he that leads a moral life out of regard to the Divine Being is led by him, but he who does so from regard to the opinion of people in the world is led by himself.

Emanuel Swedenborg

A man like me cannot but believe that this earthquake is a divine chastisement sent by God for our sins.

Mahatma Gandhi

No stone should be left unturned to bring home to the family members that untouchability is a sin and a blot on Hinduism.

Mahatma Gandhi

No one has the right to tell me what to do because he has a divine warrant.

Christopher Hitchens

It was not the part of His kindly love that he who was to praise God's divine generosity in regard to others should be compelled to condemn it in regard to himself.

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola

There is no arguing with the pretenders to a divine knowledge and to a divine mission. They are possessed with the sin of pride, they have yielded to the perennial temptation.

Walter Lippmann

Hinduism dies if untouchability lives, and untouchability has to die if Hinduism is to live.

Mahatma Gandhi

If untouchability lives, Hinduism perishes and even India perishes, but if untouchability is eradicated from the Hindu heart, root and branch, then Hinduism has a definite message for the world.

Mahatma Gandhi

Half-instructed confessors have done my soul great harm; for I could not always have such learned ones as I would have desired. They certainly did not wish to deceive me, but the fact was that they knew no better. Of something which was a venial sin, they said it was no sin, and out of a very grave mortal sin they made a venial sin. This has done me such harm, that my speaking here of so great an evil, as a warning to others, will be readily understood.

Teresa of Avila

The person who is certain, and who claims divine warrant for his certainty, belongs now to the infancy of our species.

Christopher Hitchens

It is Satan's constant effort to misrepresent the character of God, the nature of sin, and the real issues at stake in the great controversy. His sophistry lessens the obligation of the divine law and gives men license to sin.

Ellen G. White

The Divine intellect indeed knows infinitely more propositions [than we can ever know]. But with regard to those few which the human intellect does understand, I believe that its knowledge equals the Divine in objective certainty.

Galileo Galilei
