Gandhi on enemies and opponents




Conquer the heart of the enemy with truth and love, not by violence.

Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love.

No man could look upon another as his enemy, unless he first became his own enemy.

We must always seek to ally ourselves with that part of the enemy that knows what is right.

The ally we must cultivate is the part of our enemy which knows the truth.

It is my conviction that nothing enduring
can be built on violence.The only safe way to overcome an enemyis to make of that enemy a friend.


We must be ever courteous and patient with those who do not see eye to eye with us. We must resolutely refuse to consider our opponents as enemies.

Pax et bonum
