The Words of Gandhi (Newmarket Words Of Series)

The only tyrant Ill accept in this world is the still, small voice within.Democracy, disciplined and enlightened, is the finest thing in the world.Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.This 21st-century expanded edition of this inspiring collection reaffirms the message of the great spiritual leader, whose life was dramatized so brilliantly in Attenboroughs movie Gandhi, and who was Time magazines Man of the Century runner-up (to Albert Einstein).This expanded edition brings to a new readership more than 150 excerpts of the great spiritual leaders letters, speeches, and writings from more than four decades on daily life, cooperation, nonviolence, peace, and faith. With selections and a preface by the award-winning director of Gandhi, the book now also includes an introduction by Johanna McGeary, Times Senior Foreign Correspondent (who wrote the essay on Gandhi for Times century-end issue), placing Gandhis life and work in the historical context of the 20th century.Gandhi was inevitable. If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable. He lived, thought and acted, inspired by the vision of humanity evolving toward a world of peace and harmony. We may ignore him at our own risk.Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
