It isthe acid test of nonviolence that in a nonviolent conflict there is no rancorleft behind, and in the end the enemies are converted into friends.

The greatest humiliation in life is to work hard on something from which you expect great appreciation, and then fail to get.

It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier tobe sometimes cheated than not to trust.

There isno squabbling so violent as that between people who accepted an ideayesterday and those who will accept the same idea tomorrow.

Constant repetition carries conviction.

Themost dramatic conflicts are perhaps, those that take place not between menbut between a man and himselfwhere the arena of conflict is a solitary mind.

Power, however it has evolved, whatever its origins, willnot be given up without a struggle.

Be yourself and speak your mind today, though it contradicts all you have said before.

There are questions of real power and then there arequestions of phony authority. You have to break through the phony authorityto begin to fight the real questions of power.

Peoplewho are too concerned with how well they are doing will be less successfuland feel less competent than those who focus on the task itself... Somepsychologists call it a conflict between egoorientation,or between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation…

To ask advice is in nine cases out of ten tout for flattery.

If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence,try ordering somebody else's dog around.
