Quote

Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment.

The primary object of non-co-operation is nowhere stated to be paralysis of the Government. The primary object is self-purification.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
What the two hands of the labourer can achieve, the capitalist will never get with all his gold and silver.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
When you are right,you have no need to be angry. When you are wrong, you have no right to be angry.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
In nature there is a fundamental unity running through all the diversity we see about us. Religions are given to mankind so as to accelerate the process of realisation of fundamental unity.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
One who hooks his fortune to ahimsa, the law of love, daily lessens the circle of destruction and to that extent promotes life and love.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The highest truth needs no communicating, for it is by its very nature self-propelling. It radiates its influence silently as the rose its fragrance without the intervention of a medium.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Jail-going is only the beginning, not the end of satyagraha. The acme of satyagraha for us would be to lay down our lives for the defence of India's just cause.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
India has an unbroken tradition of nonviolence from times immemorial.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
A rabbit that runs away from the bull-terrier is not particularly non-violent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Facts we would always place before our readers, whether they are palatable or not, and it is by placing them constantly before the public in their nakedness that the misunderstanding between the two communities in South Africa can be removed.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Without devotion, action and knowledge are cold and dry and many even become shackles.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
If there is violence, it will certainly be crushed because violence can only end in a disgraceful rout.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Khaddar does not displace a single cottage industry.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Speed is irrelevant if you are going in the wrong direction.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It is an ever-growing belief with me that truth cannot be found by violent means.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I believe that the sum total of the energy of mankind is not to bring us down but to lift us up, and that is the result of the definite, if unconscious, working of the law of love. The fact that mankind persists shows that the cohesive force is greater than the disruptive force, centripetal force greater than centrifugal.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
When you surrender completely to God, as the only truth worth having, you find yourself in service of all that exists. It becomes your joy and recreation. You never tire of serving others.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Even as satyagraha is a weapon unique of its kind and not one of the ordinary weapons used by people, so is Khadi, a unique article of commerce which will not, cannot, succeed on terms common to other articles.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
Mahatma Gandhi
