“Strength of numbers is the delight of the timid. The Valiant in spirit glory in fighting alone.”

“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”

“Joy lies in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in the victory itself”

“I do not believe in the doctrine of the greatest good of the greatest number. The only real, dignified, human doctrine is the greatest good of all.”

“A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.”

“To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?"[To the Women of India (Young India, Oct. 4, 1930)]”

“it's easy to stand in the crowd but it takes courage to stand alone”
