As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance, cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side.

Mahatma Gandhi
If I were asked to define the Hindu creed, I should simply say: search after Truth through non-violent means. Hinduism is a relentless pursuit after truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
A semi-starved nation can have neither religion nor art nor organization.
Mahatma Gandhi
If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.

If we could all give our own definitions of God, there would be as many definitions as there are men and women.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Law and the Lawgiver are one.
Mahatma Gandhi
One cannot reach Truth by untruthfulness. Truthful conduct alone can reach truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
