More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
All your scholarship, all your study of Shakespeare and Wordsworth would be in vain, if at the same time you do not build your character, and attain mastery over your thoughts and actions.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
We Indians are one as no two Englishmen are.
Mahatma Gandhi
Exploitation and domination of one nation over another can have no place in a world striving to put an end to all war.

Democracy disciplined and enlightened is the finest thing in the world. A democracy prejudiced, ignorant, superstitious, will land itself in chaos and may be self-destroyed.
Mahatma Gandhi
A satyagrahi is sometimes bound to use language which is capable of two meanings, provided both the meanings are obvious and necessary and there is no intention to deceive anyone.
Mahatma Gandhi
The greatness of the human being is not in the reincarnation of the world but in the reincarnation of ourselves.
Mahatma Gandhi
The voice of the people may be said to be God's voice, the voice of the Panchayat.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is an active force of the highest order. It is soul force or the power of the godhead within us.
Mahatma Gandhi
When a man gives way to anger, he only harms himself.

Mahatma Gandhi
Painters and poets are obliged to exaggerate the proportions of their figures in order to give true perspective.
Mahatma Gandhi
If every component part of the nation claims the right of self-determination for itself, there is no one nation and there is no independence.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Every good movement passes through five stages, indifference, ridicule, abuse, repression, and respect.
Mahatma Gandhi
Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she does not realize what a tremendous advantage she has over man. As Tolstoy used to say, they are laboring under the hypnotic influence of man. If they would realize the strength of non-violence they would not consent to be called the weaker sex.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is as much our obligation not to cooperate with evil as it is to cooperate with good
Mahatma Gandhi
