More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Aggressive civil disobedience should be confined to a vindication of the right of free speech and free association.
Mahatma Gandhi
All your scholarship, all your study of Shakespeare and Wordsworth would be in vain, if at the same time you do not build your character, and attain mastery over your thoughts and actions.
Mahatma Gandhi
Of all the evils for which man has made himself responsible, none is so degrading, so shocking, or so brutal as his abuse of the better half of humanity to me, the female sex is not the weaker sex.
Mahatma Gandhi
Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.
Mahatma Gandhi
Spiritual instruments suffer in their potency when their use is taught through non-spiritual messages which are self-propagating.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Non-co-operation is a nation's determination to improve.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
God does not punish directly. His ways are inscrutable.
Mahatma Gandhi
To benefit by others' killing and to delude oneself into the belief that one is being very religions and nonviolent is sheer self-deception.
Mahatma Gandhi
We often confuse spiritual knowledge with spiritual attainment. Spirituality is not a matter of knowing scriptures and engaging in philosophical discussions. It is a matter of heart culture, of unmeasurable strength.
Mahatma Gandhi
I recognise no God except the God that is to be found in the hearts of the dumb millions.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-co-operation means refusal both to help the sinner in his sin and not to accept any help or gift from him till he has repented.
Mahatma Gandhi
The common factor of all religions is nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
My whole soul rebels against the idea that Hinduism and Islam represent two antagonistic cultures and doctrines.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe that cunning is not only morally wrong but also politically expedient, and have therefore always discountenanced its use even from the practical standpoint.
Mahatma Gandhi
