More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
There is no need of a teacher for those who know how to think.
Mahatma Gandhi
The cause of the spinning wheel is too great and too good to have to rest on mere hero-worship.
Mahatma Gandhi
Some form of common worship and a common place of worship appear to be a human necessity.
Mahatma Gandhi
If there is violence, it will certainly be crushed because violence can only end in a disgraceful rout.
Mahatma Gandhi
All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take.
Mahatma Gandhi
Our struggle consists in showing that our nonviolence is neither a cloak to hide our violence or hatred, nor a preparation for violence in the near or distant future.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is nothing that wastes the body like worry.
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
The bomb-throwers have discredited the cause of freedom, in whose name they threw the bombs.
Mahatma Gandhi
A perfect Muslim is he from whose tongue and hands mankind is safe.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man cannot breathe with borrowed lungs.
Mahatma Gandhi
A votary of ahimsa must cultivate the habit of unremitting toil, sleepless vigilance, ceaseless self-control.
Mahatma Gandhi
A country whose culture is based on nonviolence will find it necessary to have every home as much self-contained as possible.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence means an ocean of compassion. It means shedding from us every trace of ill will for others. It does not mean abjectness or timidity, or fleeing in fear. It means, on the contrary, firmness of mind and courage, a resolute spirit.
Mahatma Gandhi
The richest grace of ahimsa will descend easily upon the owner of hard discipline.
Mahatma Gandhi
My austerities, fasting and prayers are, I know, of no value if I rely upon them for reforming me. My penance is the prayer of a bleeding heart for forgiveness for sins unwittingly committed.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whatever one does cheerfully is good for health.
Mahatma Gandhi
An India prostrate at the feet of Europe can give no hope to humanity.
Mahatma Gandhi
A general belief seems to prevail in the colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than the savages or natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.
Mahatma Gandhi
