Gandhi

Why is Gandhi so relevant in the current political context in Venezuela ? Let's take a look at some of his thoughts:

• "Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state becomes lawless or corrupt."
• "Evolution of democracy is not possible if we are not prepared to hear the other side."
• "The spirit of democracy cannot be established in the midst of terrorism, whether governmental or popular."
• "Democracy is not a state in which people act like sheep."
• "Nonviolence is not a weapon of the weak. It is a weapon of the strongest and bravest."
• "We must become the change we want to see in the world."
• "In true democracy every man and woman is taught to think for himself or herself."
• "In matters of conscience, the law of majority has no place."
• "Democracy and violence can ill go together."
• "A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble."
