More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
We burn the evil men do with their mortal remains. We treasure the memory of the good they do, and distance magnifies it.
Mahatma Gandhi
The path of Truth is as narrow as it is straight. Even so is that of ahimsa.
Mahatma Gandhi
Untouchability of foreign cloth is as much a virtue with all of us as untouchability of the suppressed classes must be a sin with every devout Hindu.
Mahatma Gandhi
Simplicity is the essence of universality.
Mahatma Gandhi
One thing we have endeavoured to observe most scrupulously, namely, never to depart from the strictest facts and, in dealing with the difficult questions that have arisen during the year, we hope that we have used the utmost moderation possible under the circumstances.
Mahatma Gandhi
I cannot be subservient anywhere.
Mahatma Gandhi
I do not want my house to be rounded by walls and my windows to be closed to other cultures. I wish to become familiar with the culture of lands as much as possible but I will not permit them to affect me or shake me from my own status.
Mahatma Gandhi
The spinning wheel and the spinning wheel alone will solve, if anything will solve, the problem of the deepening poverty of India.
Mahatma Gandhi
Purity of life is the highest and truest art.
Mahatma Gandhi
What is really needed to make democracy function is not knowledge of facts, but right education.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have in my life never been guilty of saying things I did not mean - my nature is to go straight to the heart and if often I fail in doing so for the time being, I know that Truth ultimately makes itself heard and felt, as it has often done in my experience.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is a world-wide conflict between capital and labour, and the poor envy the rich.
Mahatma Gandhi
The lower animals are our brethren. I include among them the lion and the tiger. We do not know how to live with these carnivorous beasts and poisonous reptiles because of our ignorance.
Mahatma Gandhi
No agreement between the British and Muslims can affect me. An agreement between Hindus and Muslims alone will affect me.
Mahatma Gandhi
Where there is love there is life.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth should so humble that even dust could crush it.
Mahatma Gandhi
God does not punish directly. His ways are inscrutable.
Mahatma Gandhi
As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance, cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side.
Mahatma Gandhi
... the true function of a lawyer was to unite parties driven asunder.
Mahatma Gandhi
