I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you
friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need.
I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the
Highest Source. I salute that Source in you.
Let us work together for unity and love…
an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
Words attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, 1869-1948
A pioneer of non-violent civil disobedience as
political protest, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
was the leader of the Indian nationalist struggle
for independence. A thinker and prolific writer on
the concept of non-violence, he was assassinated
in Delhi on January 30, 1948.
