More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
If you don't find God in the next person you meet, it is a waste of time looking for him further.
Mahatma Gandhi
No religion which is narrow and which cannot satisfy the test of reason, will survive the coming reconstruction of society in which the values will have changed and character, not possession of wealth, title or birth, will be the test of merit.
Mahatma Gandhi
After long study and experience, I have come to the conclusion that (1) all religions are true (2) all religions have some error in them (3) all religions are almost as dear to me as my own Hinduism, in as much as all human beings should be as dear to one as one's own close relatives.
Mahatma Gandhi
The right to err, which means the freedom to try experiments, is the universal condition of all progress.
Mahatma Gandhi
Is the God of the Mahometan different from the God of the Hindu? Religions are different roads converging to the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads so long as we reach the same goal? Wherein is the cause for quarreling?
Mahatma Gandhi
No power on earth can resist the lovers of liberty who are ready not to kill opponents, but be killed by them.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence and cowardice go ill together.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have called spinning the yajna of this age of India.
Mahatma Gandhi
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
Purification being highly infectious, purification of oneself necessarily leads to the purification of one's surroundings.
Mahatma Gandhi
A nation that is capable of limitless sacrifice is capable of rising to limitless heights. The purer the sacrifice the quicker the progress.
Mahatma Gandhi
The function of violence is to obtain reform by external means, the function of passive resistance, that is, soul-force, is to obtain it by growth from within, which, in its turn, is obtained by self-suffering, self-purification.
Mahatma Gandhi
If every component part of the nation claims the right of self-determination for itself, there is no one nation and there is no independence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence does not require any outside or outward training.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
I want India to come into her own and that state cannot be better defined by any single word than Swaraj.
Mahatma Gandhi
A smattering of English is worse than useless it is an unnecessary tax on our women.
Mahatma Gandhi
If what passed as nonviolence does not enable people to protect the honour of women, or if it does not enable women to protect their own honour, it is not nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith.
Mahatma Gandhi
We are constantly being astonished these days at the amazing discoveries in the field of violence. But I maintain that far more undreamt of and seemingly impossible discoveries will be made in the field of nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
