Nonviolence and cowardice go ill together.
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
Image
It goes without saying that moderation and sobriety are of the very essence of vow-taking.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Spiritually, compulsory disarmament has made us unmanly, and the presence of an alien army of occupation, employed with deadly effect to crush in us the spirit of resistance, has made us think we cannot look after ourselves or put up a defense against foreign aggression, or even defend our homes and families.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
If fighting for the legislatures meant a sacrifice of truth and nonviolence, democracy would not be worth a moment's purchase.
Mahatma Gandhi

God took and needed no personal service. He served His creatures without demanding any service for Himself in return.
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

Mahatma Gandhi
Image
How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Generosity consists not the sum given, but the manner in which it is bestowed
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I want India to come into her own and that state cannot be better defined by any single word than Swaraj.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I believe in the essential unity of all that lives. Therefore, I believe that if one person gains spiritually, the whole world gains, and that if one person falls, the whole world falls to that extent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It is open to a war resister to judge between the combatants and wish success to the one who has justice on his side. By so judging he is more likely to bring peace between the two than by remaining a mere spectator.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Non-co-operation and civil disobedience in terms of Swaraj are not to be thought of without substantial constructive effort.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
There is an orderliness in the universe, there is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is no blind law for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
An institution that suffers from a plethora of leaders is surely in a bad way.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Adversity is the mother of progress.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The more I study Hindu scriptures, and the more I discuss them with Brahmins, the more I feel convinced that untouchability is the greatest blot upon Hinduism.
