The future of India lies in its villages
Mahatma Gandhi
Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi
Selfishness is blind.
Mahatma Gandhi
The one religion is beyond all speech.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.
Mahatma Gandhi
My attempt and prayer are and will be for an honorable peace between belligerent nations in the least possible time.
Mahatma Gandhi
Islam appeals to people because it appeals also to reason.
Mahatma Gandhi
We burn the evil men do with their mortal remains. We treasure the memory of the good they do, and distance magnifies it.
Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha is a law for universal application. Beginning with the family, its use can be extended to every other circle.
Mahatma Gandhi
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
Purification is never for the selfishly idle, it accrues only to the selflessly industrious.
Mahatma Gandhi
Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
God is the shield of the nonviolent.
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
Let the content of Swaraj grow with the growth of national consciousness and aspirations.
Mahatma Gandhi
When the panchayat raj is established, public opinion will do what violence can never do.
Mahatma Gandhi
For a non-violent person the whole world is one family. He will thus fear none, nor will others fear him.
Mahatma Gandhi
My austerities, fasting and prayers are, I know, of no value if I rely upon them for reforming me. My penance is the prayer of a bleeding heart for forgiveness for sins unwittingly committed.
Mahatma Gandhi
I came in contact with every known Indian anarchist in London. Their bravery impressed me, but I felt that their zeal was misguided. I felt that violence was no remedy for India's ills, and that her civilisation required the use of a different and higher weapon for self-protection. - Hind Swaraj
Mahatma Gandhi
