THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
A Fine Ideal. “The way of peace is the way of truth. Truthfulness is even more important than peacefulness. Indeed, lying is the mother of violence. A truthful man cannot long remain violent. He will perceive in the course of his search that he has no need to be violent. and he will further discover that so long as there is the slightest trace of violence in him he will fail to find the truth for which he is searching. There is no halfway between truth and non-violence on the one hand and untruth and violence on the other. Me may never be strong enough to be entirely non-violent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep non-violence as our goal and make steady progress towards it. The attainment of freedom, whether for a man, a nation, or the world, must be in exact proportion to the attainment of non-violence by each.”—Mahatma Ghan'di.
