More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
It was our love of foreign cloth that ousted the wheel from its position of dignity.
Mahatma Gandhi
The story of the creation and similar things in it did not impress me very much, but on the contrary made me incline somewhat towards atheism.
Mahatma Gandhi
The whole world is in the throes of a new birth. Anything done for a temporary gain would be tantamount to an abortion.
Mahatma Gandhi
More caution and perhaps more restraint are necessary in breaking a fast than in keeping it.
Mahatma Gandhi
The incident deepened my feeling for the Indian settlers. I discussed with them the advisability of making a test case, if it were found necessary to do so, after having seen the British Agent in the matter of these regulations.
Mahatma Gandhi
True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding the true path for ourselves, and fearlessly following it.
Mahatma Gandhi
A general belief seems to prevail in the colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than the savages or natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
Mahatma Gandhi
A slave has not the freedom even to do the right thing.
Mahatma Gandhi
Religion all the world over offeres God as the solace and comfort for all in agony.
Mahatma Gandhi
Intellect takes us along in the battle of life to a certain limit, but at the crucial moment it fails us. Faith transcends reason. It is when the horizon is the darkest and human reason is beaten down to the ground that faith shines brightest and comes to our rescue.
Mahatma Gandhi
India is less manly under the British rule than she ever was before.
Mahatma Gandhi
Bravery is not man's monopoly.
Mahatma Gandhi
Mental violence has no potency and injures only the person whose thoughts are violent. It is otherwise with mental non-violence. It has potency which the world does not yet know.
Mahatma Gandhi
The very essence of democracy is that every person represents all the varied interests which compose the nation.
Mahatma Gandhi
Love is the humblest yet the most powerful force that the human being has.
Mahatma Gandhi
Civil disobedience can never be in general terms, such as for independence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Knowledge of the tallest scientist or the greatest spiritualist is like a particle of dust.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is more to life than increasing its speed.
Mahatma Gandhi
If India won her freedom through truth and non-violence, India would not only point the way to all the exploited Asiatic nations, she would become a torch-bearer for the Negro races.
