Image
A true man of piety will consider himself a sinner and, therefore, untouchable.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
If I seem to take part in politics, it is only because politics encircles us today like the coil of a snake from which one cannot get out, no matter how much one tries. I wish therefore to wrestle with the snake.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
He who runs may see that opium and such other intoxicants and narcotics stupefy a man's soul and reduce him to a level lower than that of beasts.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Unlike the animal, God has given man the faculty of reason.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
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
Image
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Let no one try to justify the glaring difference between the classes and the masses, the prince and the pauper, by saying that the former need more.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
All the other industries will receive warmth and sustenance from khadi industry.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It was the cowards who died many times before their death.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I claim to be no more than an average man with below average capabilities.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
There would be nothing to frighten you if you refused to be afraid.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The field of research in the doctrine of civil resistance is necessarily limited, as the occasions for civil resistance in a man's life must not be frequent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
You may pluck out my eyes, but that cannot kill me. You may chop off my nose, but that will not kill me. But blast my belief in God, and I am dead.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I believe that the sum total of the energy of mankind is not to bring us down but to lift us up, and that is the result of the definite, if unconscious, working of the law of love. The fact that mankind persists shows that the cohesive force is greater than the disruptive force, centripetal force greater than centrifugal.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall... think of it, always.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
We must treat arrest as the normal condition of the life of a non-co-operator.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I claim to know my millions. All the hours of the day I am with them. They are my first care and God that is to be found in the hearts of the dumb millions.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
An India awakened and free has a message of peace and goodwill to a groaning world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
For a fallen India to aspire to move the world and protect the weaker races is seemingly an impertinence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The willing sacrifice of the innocents is the most powerful retort to insolent tyranny that has yet to be conceived by God or man.
