More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
A man cannot serve God and Mammon, nor be temperate and furious at the same time.
Mahatma Gandhi
What is a man if he is not a thief who openly charges as much as he can for the goods he sells?
Mahatma Gandhi
The Enlightened one has told you in never-to-be-forgotten words that this little span of life is but a passing shadow, a fleeting thing.
Mahatma Gandhi
Untouchability is an error of long standing.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is beyond my power to induce in you a belief in God. There are certain things which are self proved and certain which are not proved at all.
Mahatma Gandhi
The wise are unaffected either by death or life. These are but faces of the same coin.
Mahatma Gandhi
The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we all discharge our duties, rights will not be far to seek.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hitler killed five million Jews. It is the greatest crime of our time. But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs. As it is, they succumbed anyway in their millions.
Mahatma Gandhi
I can combine the greatest love with the greatest opposition to wrong.
Mahatma Gandhi
A true and nonviolent combination of labour would act like a magnet attracting to it all the needed capital.
Mahatma Gandhi
When there is no desire for fruit, there is also no temptation for untruth or himsa.
Mahatma Gandhi
But you can wake a man only if he is really asleep. No effort that you make will produce any effect upon him if he is merely pretending sleep.
Mahatma Gandhi
The spinning wheel means national consciousness and a contribution by every individual to a definite constructive national work.
Mahatma Gandhi
A nation that is capable of limitless sacrifice is capable of rising to limitless heights. The purer the sacrifice the quicker the progress.
Mahatma Gandhi
That which looks for mercy from an opponent is not non-violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Islam was nothing if it did not spell complete democracy.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Charkha in the hands of a poor widow brings a paltry price to her, in the hands of Jawaharlal it is an instrument of India's freedom.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we have the khadi spirit in us, then we should surround ourselves with simplicity in every walk of life.
Mahatma Gandhi
Destruction is not the law of humans. Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him. Every murder or other injury, no matter for what cause, committed or inflicted on another is a crime against humanity.
Mahatma Gandhi
