Mahatma Gandhi Quotes:
Ocupation: Lawyer
Life: October 2, 1869 - January 30, 1948
Birthday: October 2
Death: January 30
Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
