We want to go in for suffering, and there may be torture. If we put the women in front the Government may hesitate to inflict on us all the penalty that they might otherwise inflict.

More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
If blood be shed, let it be our own. Let us cultivate the calm courage to die without killing.
Mahatma Gandhi
To double your successes, you might have to double your failure rate.
Mahatma Gandhi
A perfect Muslim is he from whose tongue and hands mankind is safe.
Mahatma Gandhi
And he who would be friends with God must remain alone, or make the whole world his friend
Mahatma Gandhi
If the lambs of the world had been willingly led, they would have long ago saved themselves from the butcher's knife.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is always a limit to self-indulgence, but none to self-restraint.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man must choose either of the two courses, the upward or the downward but as he has the brute in him, he will more easily choose the downward course than the upward, especially when the downward course is presented to him in a beautiful garb. Man easily capitulates when sin is presented in the garb of virtue.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we were to drive out the English with the weapons with which they enslaved us, our slavery would still be with us even when they have gone.
Mahatma Gandhi
In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have but shadowed forth my intense longing to lose myself in the Eternal and become merely a lump of clay in the Potter's divine hands so that my service may become more certain because uninterrupted by the baser self in me.
Mahatma Gandhi
Never has man reached his destination by persistence in deviation from the straight path.
Mahatma Gandhi
Jail-going is only the beginning, not the end of satyagraha. The acme of satyagraha for us would be to lay down our lives for the defence of India's just cause.
Mahatma Gandhi
For thousands to do to death a few hundreds is no bravery. It is worse than cowardice. It is unworthy of nationalism, of any religion.
Mahatma Gandhi
Where death without resistance or death after resistance is the only way, neither party should think of resorting to law-courts or help from the government.
Mahatma Gandhi
Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth and nonviolence are perhaps the activest forces you have in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Find purpose. The means will follow.
Mahatma Gandhi
The seeker after truth should be humbler than the dust. The world crushes the dust under its feet, but the seeker after truth should so humble himself that even the dust could crush him. Only then, and not till then, will he have a glimpse of truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe that there is no prayer without fasting, and there is no real fast without prayer.
Mahatma Gandhi
