"Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit" And "We must respect other religions even as we respect our own. Mere tolerance thereof is not enough"
"All humanity is one undivided and indivisible family, and each one of us is responsible for the misdeeds of all the others. I cannot detach myself from the wickedest soul." This quote is all over the web as from Gandhi, but can anyone identify its source? Or it it mis-attributed?

Mahatma Gandhi
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October1869 – 30 January1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British rule, and to later inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā (Sanskrit: "great-souled", "venerable"), first applied to him in 1914 in South Africa, is now used throughout the world.

- Ours is one continual struggle against a degradation sought to be inflicted
