All MAHATMA GANDHI Quotes about “Authority”

Non violence has found the highest expression and application in Hinduism.”
“The only safe and honorable course for a self-respecting man is to do what I have decided to do, that is, to submit without protest to the penalty of disobedience ... not for want of respect for lawful authority, but in obedience to the higher law of our being, the voice of conscience.”
