More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Not violence, nor untruth but non-violence and Truth are the laws of our being.
Mahatma Gandhi
Weeding is as necessary to agriculture as sowing.
Mahatma Gandhi
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.
Mahatma Gandhi
In His boundless love God permits the atheist to live.
Mahatma Gandhi
If love or non-violence be not the law of our being, the whole of my argument falls to pieces.
Mahatma Gandhi
Men should do their actual living and working in communities small enough to permit of genuine self-government and the assumption of personal responsibilities, federated into larger units in such a way that the temptation to abuse great power should not arise.
Mahatma Gandhi
My notion of democracy is that under it the weakest shall have the same opportunities as the strongest.
Mahatma Gandhi
Every woman will tell the curious that with the disappearance of the spinning wheel vanished India's happiness and prosperity.
Mahatma Gandhi
Forces of nature act in a mysterious manner. We can but solve the mystery by deducing the unknown result from the known results of similar events.
Mahatma Gandhi
The true democrat is he who with purely nonviolent means defends his liberty and, therefore, his country's and ultimately that of the whole of mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
That prince is acceptable to me who becomes a prince among his people's servants.
Mahatma Gandhi
To lose patience is to lose the battle.
Mahatma Gandhi
You assist an administration most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man the law-giver will have to pay a dreadful penalty for the degradation he has imposed upon the so called weaker sex.
Mahatma Gandhi
My opposition to the socialist and the other consists in attacking violence as a means of effecting any lasting reform.
Mahatma Gandhi
Insistence on truth can come into play when one party practices untruth or injustice. Only then can love be tested. True friendship is put to the test only when one party disregards the obligation of friendship.
Mahatma Gandhi
That we should obey laws whether good or bad is a new-fangled notion. There was no such thing in former days. The people disregarded those laws they did not like and suffered the penalties for their breach.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence and cowardice go ill together.
Mahatma Gandhi
Outward appearance is nothing to Him if it is not an expression of the inner.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have mentally become a woman in order to steal into her heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
