I believe that just as everyone inherits a particular form so does he inherit the particular characteristics and qualities of his progenitors, and to make this admission is to conserve one's energy.

Satyagraha is a purely spiritual weapon.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Purity of mind and idleness are incompatible.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The need of the moment is not one religion, but mutual respect and tolerance of the devotees of the different religions.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
One must become as humble as the dust before he can discover truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I should love to satisfy all, if I possibly can but in trying to satisfy all, I may be able to satisfy none. I have, therefore, arrived at the conclusion that the best course is to satisfy one’s own conscience and leave the world to form its own judgment, favorable or otherwise.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Complete independence will be complete only to the extent of our approach in practice to truth and nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
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
Image
It is the law of love that rules mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi

A true Brahmachari will not even dream of satisfying the fleshly appetite
Mahatma Gandhi

Healthy and nourishing food was the only alpha and omega of rural economy.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Hinduism is a living organism. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. Knowledge is limitless and so also the application of truth. Everyday we add to our knowledge of the power of Atman (soul) and we shall keep on doing so.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
He who spins before the poor, inviting them to do likewise, serves God as no one else does.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Love is the law of life.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Nonviolence becomes meaningless if violence is permitted for self-defence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The test of friendship is assistance in adversity, and that, too, unconditional assistance.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
A rabbit that runs away from the bull-terrier is not particularly non-violent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I would rather have India reduced to a state of pauperism than have thousands of drunkards in our midst.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
High thinking is inconsistent with a complicated material life based on high speed and imposed on us by mammon worship.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I see a clear breach of ahimsa even in driving away monkeys the breach would be proportionately greater if they have to be killed.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Spiritually, compulsory disarmament has made us unmanly, and the presence of an alien army of occupation, employed with deadly effect to crush in us the spirit of resistance, has made us think we cannot look after ourselves or put up a defense against foreign aggression, or even defend our homes and families.
