If you are left with only one piece of homespun,wear it with dignity
Mahatma Gandhi
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
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
I would far rather that India perished than that she won Her freedom at the sacrifice of truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
My life is my message.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Man believes and lives.
Mahatma Gandhi
A man who would interpret the scriptures must have the spiritual discipline.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Man cannot breathe with borrowed lungs.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hate the sin, love the sinner.
Mahatma Gandhi
As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality.
Mahatma Gandhi
You cannot succeed in one department of life while cheating on another, life is an indivisible whole.
Mahatma Gandhi
... when all violence subsides in the human heart, the state which remains is love. It is not something we have to acquire it is always present, and needs only to be uncovered. This is our real nature, not merely to love one person here, another there, but to be love itself.
Mahatma Gandhi
Useful manual labour, intelligently performed, is the means par excellence for developing the intellect.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is enough for the need of everyone in this world, but not for the greed of everyone.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
In man, reason quickens and guides feelings in brute, the soul lies ever dormant.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is not a mistake to commit a mistake, for no one commits a mistake knowing it to be one. But it is a mistake not to correct the mistake after knowing it to be one. If you are afraid of committing a mistake, you are afraid of doing anything at all. You will correct your mistakes whenever you find them.
Mahatma Gandhi
Prayer has been the saviour of my life. Without it I should have been a lunatic long ago.
Mahatma Gandhi
