More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Mental violence has no potency and injures only the person whose thoughts are violent. It is otherwise with mental non-violence. It has potency which the world does not yet know.
Mahatma Gandhi
History is replete with instances of men, who, by dying with courage and compassion on their lips converted the hearts of their violent opponents.
Mahatma Gandhi
Buddhism in one long prayer.
Mahatma Gandhi
For me there is a vital connection between the Bihar calamity and the untouchability campaign.

Mahatma Gandhi
The test of friendship is assistance in adversity, and that, too, unconditional assistance.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is the law of love that rules mankind. Had violence, i.e. hate, rules us we would have become extinct long ago. And yet, the tragedy of it is that the so-called civilised men and nations conduct themselves as if the basis of society was violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Reason has to be strengthened by suffering, and suffering opens the eyes of understanding.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
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
It is claimed for satyagraha that it is a complete substitute for violence or war.
Mahatma Gandhi
Cowardice is impotence worse than violence. The coward desires revenge but being afraid to die, he looks to others, maybe to the government of the day, to do the work of defense for him. A coward is less than a man. He does not deserve to be a member of a society of men and women.
Mahatma Gandhi
If I arrogate to myself the exclusive title of being in the right, I usurp the function of the Deity.
Mahatma Gandhi
If India becomes the slave of the machine, then, I say, heaven save the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
The very word Islam means peace, which is nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Unlike the animal, God has given man the faculty of reason.
Mahatma Gandhi
