More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The test of friendship is assistance in adversity, and that, too, unconditional assistance.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whatever strength the masses have is due entirely to ahimsa, however imperfect or defective its practice might have been.
Mahatma Gandhi
Sympathy is what you have for someone after they die, pity you have for someone when they don't have a date to the biggest dance of the year. Empathy is what I do to you when you judge me. Envy is having pity on yourself. Can you discern the rest for yourself?
Mahatma Gandhi
A heart-felt prayer is not recitation with the lips. It is a yearning from within which expresses itself in every word, every act, nay every thought of people.
Mahatma Gandhi
Today the cities dominate and drain the villages so that they are crumbling to ruin.
Mahatma Gandhi
My nationalism, fierce though it is, is not exclusive, is not devised to harm any nation or individual.
Mahatma Gandhi
Indeed one's faith in one's plans and methods is truly tested when the horizon before one is the blackest.
Mahatma Gandhi
You cannot stop big wars if you carry on little wars yourselves.
Mahatma Gandhi
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. There is nothing more potent than thought. Deed follows word and word follows thought. The word is the result of a mighty thought, and where the thought is mighty and pure the result is always mighty and pure.
Mahatma Gandhi
A seeker after truth, a follower of the law of Love, cannot hold anything against tomorrow.
Mahatma Gandhi
I implicitly believe in the truth of the saying that not a blade of grass moves but by His will. He will save it (my life) if He needs it for further service in this body. None can save it against His will.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing enduring can be built on violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.
Mahatma Gandhi
I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
Mahatma Gandhi
The nonviolence I teach is active nonviolence of the strongest. But the weakest can partake in it without becoming weaker.
Mahatma Gandhi
We Indians are one as no two Englishmen are.
Mahatma Gandhi
When large numbers of wholly innocent men are in jail, we may take it that Swaraj is at hand.
Mahatma Gandhi
Be the change you want to see in the world...and, if you can't be that change, then either get out of the way of the person who wants to be that change or support the individual with your financial resources.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is much more difficult to live for nonviolence than to die for it.
Mahatma Gandhi
The end of nonviolent 'war' is always an agreement, never dictation, much less humiliation of the opponent.
Mahatma Gandhi
