Gandhi Quotes And Some American Conservative Thought

2 days after Gandhi's birthday, I publish a comparison of his thought and the ideas and practices of a few American conservatives.

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." (cf TR's favourite proverb: "Speak softly and carry a big stick."?)

“The future depends on what you do today.” ("It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of central banking." - Ron Paul)

"Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good." ("The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." - Ronald Reagan)

"My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him." ("No one has deputized America to play Wyatt Earp to the world." - Pat Buchanan)

Gandhi was no conservative, but conservatives could learn a lot from him. He would never have thrown up his hands in the face of a rigged election and said “we’ll just have to wait until the SHTF!”

"It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of central banking."

I didn't know that. I'm gonna do a little research on the subject.

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

It’s a Christian thing, Gandhi wouldn’t understand.

Well, the British Empire must have been really pathetic then, to get their butts handed to them by a “fag in bad sandals”.

agreed.

when you focus so much on yourself, as many so called enlightened people do, you leave no room for God

During a visit to America one of Gandhi’s assistants had to spend all day in taxis searching for the expensive and rare in NYC ingredients for his vegetarian diet and said something like ‘rarely has so much money been spent to keep a man living simply’.

As far as trusting him with your daughters.
77-year-old Gandhi “called for his 18-year-old grandniece Manu to join him – and sleep with him. “We both may be killed by the Muslims,” he told her, “and must put our purity to the ultimate test, so that we know that we are offering the purest of sacrifices, and we should now both start sleeping naked.”

“But was there something more complex than a pious plea for chastity at play in Gandhi’s beliefs, preachings and even his unusual personal practices (which included, alongside his famed chastity, sleeping naked next to nubile, naked women to test his restraint)?”
