I do not think Ghandi would disagree with this. It does seem fairly apparent that Bonaparte is conceding the human spirit can overcome all forces and all odds. This quotation from Bonaparte is somewhat reminiscent of the expression, "The Pen is Mightier than the sword," by Edward George Bulwer Lytton (1803-1873).

thinking Ghandi's hypocrisy -- he replaced into an exceedingly racist guy or woman who in the time of his youthful years as a criminal expert in South Africa gave us many quotable expenses which might make a KKK rally organizer proud -- i think of his fact is particularly humorous. it is human nature to self-righteously ***** approximately somebody else's hypocrisy on a similar time as final silent on our very own! Ghandi replaced into no longer something like his ordinary, Hollywood-superior photograph. Christ himself made very sparkling that maximum people who claimed to maintain on with him did no longer -- and that finally people will stand till now God and hear, "go away from me. I never knew you." So by skill of that token, i assume Ghandi replaced into in certainty authentic. Christ has MANY pretend followers. whether, it does no longer logically shop on with that that proves that no actual followers OF JESUS CHRIST exist. (So if somebody makes use of the quote in some style of attempt to discredit Christ and all Christians, it is an incredible massive fail on that schedule.)
