About This Quote

Peacemaking is a noble vocation. Gandhi was an incredible leader, but his greatest contribution to humanity may have been in his ability to remain peaceful. Gandhi believed that peace was something that everyone should strive for, and he believed that peace could be brought about through nonviolence. The idea of peace can be traced back to the Biblical story of the Good Samaritan.

For many people, the story is meant to illustrate how someone who is not involved in conflict can still help people who are in distress. For the Christian author, though, the story highlights an important aspect of human nature: Every person is capable of doing good.
