More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it.
Mahatma Gandhi
My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.
Mahatma Gandhi
It's a big error to dream of a society where nobody needs to be good.
Mahatma Gandhi
The one religion is beyond all speech.
Mahatma Gandhi
No matter how explicit the pledge, people will turn and twist the text to suit their own purpose
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth (satya) is positive, nonviolence is negative.
Mahatma Gandhi
Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi
I hold it a blasphemy to say that the Creator resides in a temple from which a particular class of His devotees sharing faith in it are excluded.
Mahatma Gandhi
But the fact that I had learnt to be tolerant to other religions did not mean that I had any living faith in God.
Mahatma Gandhi
The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.
Mahatma Gandhi
I claim that in losing the spinning wheel we lost our left lung. We are, therefore, suffering from galloping consumption. The restoration of the wheel arrests the progress of the fell disease.
Mahatma Gandhi
The greatness of the human being is not in the reincarnation of the world but in the reincarnation of ourselves.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have had the hardihood to say that Swaraj could not be granted even by God.
Mahatma Gandhi
All truths, not merely ideas, but truthful faces, truthful pictures or songs, are highly beautiful.
Mahatma Gandhi
India unarmed would not require to be destroyed through poison gas or bombardment.
Mahatma Gandhi
Do not crave to know the views of others, nor base your intent thereon. To think independently for yourself is a sign of fearlessness.
Mahatma Gandhi
In a plan of life based on nonviolence, woman has as much right to shape her own destiny as man has to shape his.
Mahatma Gandhi
Look at the sparrows they do not know what they will do in the next moment. Let us literally live from moment to moment.
Mahatma Gandhi
To call woman the weaker sex is a libel it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior.
Mahatma Gandhi
