Forbearance is silence…


Forbearance is silence…

Forbearance is silence,
Virtue of the meek.
Silence is complicity,
Oppression of the weak.



Mahatma Gandhi (2010) by Purushotham Adve, Malpe Beach, India

  3. Mahatma Gandhi on Silence

    In the The Wisdom of Gandhi, compiled by Trudy S. Settel (New York: Citadel Press, 1995):

    Page 80

    “Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly.”

    Page 88

    “The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within.”

    Page 131

    “One has to speak out and stand up for one’s convictions. Inaction at a time of conflagration is inexcusable.”
