More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
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.
Mahatma Gandhi
Where there is truth, there also is knowledge which is true.
Mahatma Gandhi
Though God may be Love, God is Truth above all.
Mahatma Gandhi
Perfect nonviolence is difficult. It admits to no weakness.
Mahatma Gandhi
In satyagraha, a courted imprisonment carries its own praise.
Mahatma Gandhi
Unless nonviolence of the strong is really developed among us, there should be no thought of civil disobedience for Swaraj, whether within the states or in British India.
Mahatma Gandhi
How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done.
Mahatma Gandhi
Was it that you wanted to pull my leg by transporting me to the frozen Himalayan heights of 'mahatmaship' and claiming for yourself absolution from having to follow my precepts?
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have described Swaraj as Ramarajya and Ramarajya is an impossibility unless we have thousands of Sitas.
Mahatma Gandhi
The future of India lies in its villages
Mahatma Gandhi
An error can never become true however many times you repeat it. The truth can never be wrong, even if no one hears it.
Mahatma Gandhi
We are all very imperfect and weak things, and if we are to destroy all whose ways we do not like, there will be not a man left alive.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have even seen the writings suggesting that I am playing a deep game, that I am using the present turmoil to foist my fads on India, and am making religious experiments at India's expense. I can only answer that Satyagraha is made of sterner stuff. There is nothing reserved and nothing secret in it.
Mahatma Gandhi
I suffer snakes to be killed in the ashram when it is impossible to catch them and put them out of harm's way.
Mahatma Gandhi
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. There is nothing more potent than thought. Deed follows word and word follows thought. The word is the result of a mighty thought, and where the thought is mighty and pure the result is always mighty and pure.
Mahatma Gandhi
It amazes me to find an intelligent person who fights against something which he does not at all believe exists.
Mahatma Gandhi
The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane.
Mahatma Gandhi
Sanitation is more important than Independence.
Mahatma Gandhi
No power on earth can resist the lovers of liberty who are ready not to kill opponents, but be killed by them.
Mahatma Gandhi
