More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The external freedom won't be given to us but in the exact measure as we've known at a given moment, to developing our internal freedom.
Mahatma Gandhi
It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
Mahatma Gandhi
Ahimsa is no mere theory with me, but it is a fact of life based on extensive experience.

Just as one must learn the art of killing in the training for violence, so one must learn the art of dying in the training for nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
I would rather have India without education, if that is the price to be paid for making it dry.
Mahatma Gandhi
If love or non-violence be not the law of our being, the whole of my argument falls to pieces.

India has the right, if she only knew, of becoming the predominant partner by reason of her numbers, geographical position and culture inherited for ages.
