Mohan-MalaSW, P. 330July12Self-sacrifice of the innocent man is a million times more potent than thesacrifice of million men who die in the act of killing others. The willing sacrificeof the innocent is the most powerful retort to insolent tyranny that has yetbeen conceived by God or man.YI, 12 Feb. 1925July 13With Satya combined with Ahimsa, you can bring the world to your feet.Satyagraha in its essence is nothing but the introduction o truth and gentlenessin the political, i.e., the national life.YI, 10 March 1920July 14A Satyagrahi bids good-bye to fear. He is, therefore, never afraid of trustingthe opponent. Even if the opponent plays him false twenty times, theSatyagrahi is ready to trust him the twenty-first time, for an implicit trust inhuman nature is the essence of the creed.SSA, p. 246July 15A Satyagrahi is nothing of not instinctively law-abiding and it is his law abidingnature which exacts from him implicit obedience to the highest law that is thevoice of conscience which overrides all other laws.SW, p. 465www.mkgandhi.org Page 53
