My faith runs so very much faster than my reason that I can challenge the whole world and say, 'God is, was and ever shall be'.

Mahatma Gandhi (1950). “Hindu Dharma”

I know that in embarking on non-violence I shall be running what might be termed a mad risk. But the victories of truth have never been won without risks.

Joy lies in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in the victory itself

Mahatma Gandhi
Running, Lying, Fighting
Mahatma Gandhi (1958). “Collected Works”

The science of war leads one to dictatorship, pure and simple. The science of non-violence alone can lead one to pure democracy. Power based on love is thousand times more effective and permanent than power derived from fear of punishment. It is a blasphemy to say non-violence can be practiced only by individuals and never by nations which are composed of individuals. The nearest approach to purest anarchy would be a democracy based on non-violence. A society organized and run on the basis of complete non-violence would be the purest anarchy.

Mahatma Gandhi
Running, War, Simple

Whilst I may not actually help anyone to retaliate, I must not let a coward seek shelter behind nonviolence so-called. Not knowing the stuff of which nonviolence is made, many have honestly believed that running away from danger every time was a virtue compared to offering resistance, especially when it was fraught with danger to one's life. As a teacher of nonviolence I must, so far as it is possible for me, guard against such an unmanly belief.

A rabbit that runs away from the bull-terrier is not particularly non-violent.

Mahatma Gandhi (1967). “Collected Works”

I do believe that where there is a choice between cowardice and non-violence I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence.

Mahatma Gandhi (2005). “All Men Are Brothers”, p.99, A&C Black

He who runs to the doctor, vaidya, or hakim for every little ailment, and swallows all kinds of vegetable and mineral drugs, not only curtails his life, but by becoming the slave of his body instead of remaining its master, loses self-control, and ceases to be a man.

He who runs may see that opium and such other intoxicants and narcotics stupefy a man's soul and reduce him to a level lower than that of beasts.

Mahatma Gandhi, Anand T. Hingorani, Ganga Anand Hingorani (1985). “The Encyclopaedia of Gandhian Thoughts”

If we all discharge our duties, rights will not be far to seek. If leaving duties unperformed we run after rights, they will escape us like a will-o'-the-wisp.

Nonviolence does not admit of running away from danger... . Between violence and cowardly flight I can only prefer violence to cowardice.

Mahatma Gandhi (2005). “All Men Are Brothers”, p.98, A&C Black

My nonviolence does not admit of running away from danger and leaving the dear ones unprotected.

Mahatma Gandhi
Running, Dear Ones, Leaving

To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith.

Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi (1958). “Collected Works”

True ahimsa lay in running into the mouth of himsa.

Mahatma Gandhi (1941). “The Indian States' Problem”

Running away for fear of death, leaving one's dear ones, temples or music to take care of themselves, is irreligion; it is cowardice.

Mahatma Gandhi (1967). “Collected Works”

Do not concentrate on showing the misdeeds of the government, for we have to convert and befriend those who run it.

My life is an indivisible whole, and all my attitudes run into one another; and they all have their rise in my insatiable love for mankind.
