Government control gives rise to fraud, suppression of Truth, intensification of the black market and artificial scarcity. Above all, it unmans the people and deprives them of initiative, it undoes the teaching of self-help.

More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
If we had attained the full vision of Truth, we would no longer be seekers, but become one with God, for Truth is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Everyone has faith in God though everyone does not know it. For everyone has faith in himself and that multiplied to the nth degree is God. The sum total of all that lives is God. We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean.
Mahatma Gandhi
... there are chords in every human heart. If we only knew how to strike the right chord, we would bring out the music.
Mahatma Gandhi
A dissolute character is more dissolute in thought than in deed. And the same is true of violence. Our violence in word and deed is but a feeble echo of the surging violence of thought in us.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no road to freedom, freedom is the road.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is the reformer who is anxious for the reform, and not society, from which he should expect nothing better than opposition, abhorrence and even mortal persecution.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Muslim is as much an Indian as I am and of the same blood.

Mahatma Gandhi
I worship God as Truth only. I have not yet found Him, but I am seeking after Him. I am prepared to sacrifice the things dearest to me in pursuit of this quest. Even if the sacrifice demanded my very life, I hope I may be prepared to give it.
Mahatma Gandhi
I regard Duryodhana and his party as the baser impulses in man, and Arjuna and his party as the higher impulses.
Mahatma Gandhi
Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.
Mahatma Gandhi
A country whose culture is based on nonviolence will find it necessary to have every home as much self-contained as possible.
Mahatma Gandhi
Economic equality of my conception does not mean that every one will literally have the same amount.
Mahatma Gandhi
Music has given me peace. I can remember occasions when music instantly tranquillized my mind, when I was greatly agitated over something. Music has helped me to overcome anger.
