Quote

I should love to satisfy all, if I possibly can but in trying to satisfy all, I may be able to satisfy none. I have, therefore, arrived at the conclusion that the best course is to satisfy one’s own conscience and leave the world to form its own judgment, favorable or otherwise.

There is goodness as well as greatness in simplicity, not in wealth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Was not war itself a crime against God and humanity, and therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered and conducted wars, war criminals?

In the dictionary of the seeker of truth there is no such thing as being not successful. He is or should be an irrepressible optimist because of his immovable faith in the ultimate victory of Truth, which is God.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Of all the evils for which man has made himself responsible, none is so degrading, so shocking, or so brutal as his abuse of the better half of humanity to me, the female sex is not the weaker sex.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I know that I can never be alone as God is there with me.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
All true art must help the soul to realize its inner self.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Even as a tree has a single trunk, but many branches and leaves, there is one religion but any number of faiths.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
We often confuse spiritual knowledge with spiritual attainment. Spirituality is not a matter of knowing scriptures and engaging in philosophical discussions. It is a matter of heart culture, of unmeasurable strength.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
My conception of dominion status implies present ability to severe the British connection if I wish to.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Cowardice is impotence worse than violence. The coward desires revenge but being afraid to die, he looks to others, maybe to the government of the day, to do the work of defense for him. A coward is less than a man. He does not deserve to be a member of a society of men and women.
