Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause.

Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause.

Summary

This quote suggests that when people exhibit intolerance towards beliefs or ideas different from their own, it reveals a lack of confidence or belief in their own cause. It implies that those who are sure of their beliefs do not feel threatened by differing perspectives or the coexistence of diverse ideas. Intolerance, therefore, may be seen as a sign of insecurity or doubt in the validity or strength of one's own beliefs, highlighting the importance of open-mindedness and respect for different viewpoints.

Let no one be discouraged by the belief that there is nothin

Let no one be discouraged by the belief that there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills -- against misery and ignorance, injustice and violence... Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation...It is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man (or a woman) stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he (or she) sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
