More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I cannot imagine anything nobler or more national than that for, say, one hour in the day we should all do the labor the poor must do, and thus identify ourselves with them and through them, with all mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Civilization is not an incurable disease, but it should never be forgotten that the English people are at present afflicted by it.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi

Democracy disciplined and enlightened is the finest thing in the world. A democracy prejudiced, ignorant, superstitious, will land itself in chaos and may be self-destroyed.
Mahatma Gandhi
By using violence to subjugate one another we are using violence against our own souls.
Mahatma Gandhi
The only way Hinduism can convert the whole world to cow-protection is by giving an object-lesson in cow-protection and all it means.
Mahatma Gandhi
It has often occurred to me that a seeker after truth has to be silent.
Mahatma Gandhi
However virile the English language may be, it can never become the language of the masses of India.
Mahatma Gandhi
Meditation is waiting on God.
Mahatma Gandhi
True nonviolence is mightier than the mightiest violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
If everyone will try to understand the core of his own religion and adhere to it, and will not allow false teachers to dictate to him, there will be no room left for quarrelling.
Mahatma Gandhi
A great man may not do great things but they do ordinary things greatly.
Mahatma Gandhi
