More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Truth is not truth merely because it is ancient. Nor is truth necessarily to be regarded with suspicion because it is ancient.
Mahatma Gandhi
God alone is truth, everything else is transitory and illusory.
Mahatma Gandhi
The purpose of life is undoubtedly to know oneself. We cannot do it unless we learn to identify ourselves with all that lives. The sum-total of that life is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
We may attack systems. We must not attack men.
Mahatma Gandhi
Never own defeat in a sacred cause and make up your minds henceforth that you will be pure and that you will find a response from God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whether humanity will consciously follow the law of love, I do not know. But that need not disturb me. The law will work just as the law of gravitation works whether we accept it or not.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
All my actions have their rise in my inalienable love of mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
The golden rule is to act fearlessly upon what one believes to be right.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we would be pure, if we would save Hinduism, we must rid ourselves of this poison of enforced widowhood.
Mahatma Gandhi
Infinite Love is a weapon of matchless potency. It is the 'summum bonum' of life. It is an attribute of the brave, in fact it is their all. It does not come within the each of the coward. It is no wooden of lifeless dogma but a living and life-giving.
Mahatma Gandhi
I would heartily welcome the union of East and West provided it is not based on brute force.
Mahatma Gandhi
My trust is solely in God. And I trust men only because I trust God. If I had no God to rely upon, I should be like Timon, a hater of my species.
Mahatma Gandhi
If you worry about yesterday's failures, then today's successes will be few. The future depends on what we do in the present
Mahatma Gandhi
It is a heavy downpour of rain which drenches the soil to fullness likewise only a profuse shower of love can overcome hatred.
Mahatma Gandhi
