More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The only true resistance to this Government... [is] to cease to co-operate with it.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing in the Shastras, which is capable of being reasoned, can stand if it is in conflict with reason.
Mahatma Gandhi
To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that one that must be loved is not a friend. There is not merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend.
Mahatma Gandhi
I do not want to live at the cost of the life even of a snake. I should let him bite me to death rather than kill him.
Mahatma Gandhi
Many persons claiming different faiths make us one and an indivisible nation. All these have an equal claim to be the nationals of India.
Mahatma Gandhi
I want to realize brotherhood or identity not merely with the beings called human, but I want to realize identity with all life, even with such things as crawl upon earth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
And whilst he may not claim superiority by reason of learning, I myself must not withold that meed of homage that learning, wherever it resides, always commands.
Mahatma Gandhi
Ahimsa is an attribute of the brave. Cowardice and ahimsa don't go together any more that water and fire.
Mahatma Gandhi
Remember there is always a limit to self-indulgence, none to restraint... Civilization , in the real sense of the term, consists not in the multiplication but in the deliberate and voluntary restriction of wants. This alone promotes real happiness and contentment , and increases the capacity for service .
Mahatma Gandhi
It amazes me to find an intelligent person who fights against something which he does not at all believe exists.
Mahatma Gandhi
A poet is one who can call forth the good latent in the human beast.
Mahatma Gandhi
If you would swim on the bosom of the ocean of Truth, you must reduce yourself to a zero.
Mahatma Gandhi
True religion being the greatest thing in life and in the world, has been exploited the most.
Mahatma Gandhi
As long as you are trying your very best, there can be no question of failure.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is nothing but nonviolence to fall back upon for retaining our freedom, even as we had to do for gaining it.
Mahatma Gandhi
