More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi

Image
Ahimsa magnifies one's own defects, and minimizes those of the opponent. It regards the mole in one's own eye as a beam and the beam in the opponent's eye as a mole.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
A religion cannot be sustained by the number of its lip-followers denying in their lives its tenets.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Learning takes us through many states of life, but it fails utterly in the hour of danger and temptation. Then faith alone saves.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
My dictionary has no such expression as a violent fight.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
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
Image
Truth is as hard as adamant and tender as a blossom.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Who can deny that much that passes for science and art today destroys the soul instead of uplifting it and instead of evoking the best in us, panders to our basest passions?
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The spinning wheel is itself an exquisite piece of machinery. My head daily bows in reverence to its unknown inventor.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
No reform is possible unless some of the educated and the rich voluntarily accept the status of the poor, travel third, refuse to enjoy the amenities denied to the poor and, instead of taking avoidable hardships, discourtesies and injustice as a matter of course, fight for their removal.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The goal ever recedes from us. The greater the progress the greater the recognition of our unworthiness. Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full victory.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
There is no one without faults, not even men of God. They are men of God not because they are faultless, but because they know their faults, they strive against them, they do not hide them, and are ever ready to correct themselves.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Hatred is not essential for nationalism. Race hatred will kill the real national spirit.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Khadi to me is the symbol of unity of Indian humanity, of its economic freedom and equality and, therefore, ultimately, in the poetic expression of Jawaharlal Nehru, 'the livery of India's freedom'.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Cowardice is impotence worse than violence. The coward desires revenge but being afraid to die, he looks to others, maybe to the government of the day, to do the work of defense for him. A coward is less than a man. He does not deserve to be a member of a society of men and women.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Ahimsa is nothing if not a well-balanced, exquisite consideration for one's neighbour, and an idle man is wanting in that elementary consideration.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
If I had no sense of humor I should long ago have committed suicide.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Religion is a thing to be lived. It is not merely sophistry.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
God has blessed man with seed that has the highest potency and woman with a field richer than the richest earth to be found anywhere on his globe.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
At times, non-co-operation becomes as much a duty as co-operation.
Mahatma Gandhi
