More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Though God may be Love, God is Truth above all.
Mahatma Gandhi
With every true friendship we build more firmly the foundations on which the peace of the whole world rests. Thought by thought and act by act, with every breath we build more firmly the kingdom of non-violence that is the true home of the spirit of humanity.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let the Gita be to you a mine of diamonds, as it has been to me let it be your constant guide and friend on life's way.
Mahatma Gandhi
Indeed the very word, nonviolence, a negative word, means that it is an effort to abandon the violence that is inevitable in life.
Mahatma Gandhi
God's ways are more than Man's arithmetic.
Mahatma Gandhi
Who can deny that much that passes for science and art today destroys the soul instead of uplifting it and instead of evoking the best in us, panders to our basest passions?
Mahatma Gandhi
A nonviolent struggle necessarily involves construction on a small scale. It cannot therefore lead to tamas or darkness or inertia.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
The only force at the disposal of democracy is that of public opinion.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Everyone holds a piece of the truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hatred can be overcome only by love.
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
A woman's intuition has often proved truer than a man's arrogant assumption of knowledge.
Mahatma Gandhi
A democrat should not rely upon the force of the arms his state could flaunt in the face of the world, but on the moral force his state could put at the disposal of the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is my unmistakable belief that not a blade of grass moves but by the divine will.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Khaddar of my conception is that handspun cloth entirely takes the place of mill cloth in India.
Mahatma Gandhi
Honesty is incompatible with amassing a large fortune.
Mahatma Gandhi
Every expression of truth has in it the seeds of propagation, even as the sun cannot hide its light.
Mahatma Gandhi
