[It] is impossible for us to establish a living vital connection with the masses unless we will work for them, through them and in their midst, not as their patrons but as their servants.

More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Truth is my religion and ahimsa is the only way of its realization.
Mahatma Gandhi
One thing we have endeavoured to observe most scrupulously, namely, never to depart from the strictest facts and, in dealing with the difficult questions that have arisen during the year, we hope that we have used the utmost moderation possible under the circumstances.
Mahatma Gandhi
You may pluck out my eyes, but that cannot kill me. You may chop off my nose, but that will not kill me. But blast my belief in God, and I am dead.
Mahatma Gandhi
A convert's enthusiasm for his new religion is greater than that of a person who is born in it.
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
It's a big error to dream of a society where nobody needs to be good.
Mahatma Gandhi
To me the Mahabharata is a profoundly religious book, largely allegorical, in a way meant to be a historical record.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we are true servants of the masses, we would take pride in spinning for their sake.
Mahatma Gandhi
As a splendid palace deserted by its inmates looks like a ruin, so does a man without character, all his material belongings notwithstanding.
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
I have in my life never been guilty of saying things I did not mean - my nature is to go straight to the heart and if often I fail in doing so for the time being, I know that Truth ultimately makes itself heard and felt, as it has often done in my experience.
Mahatma Gandhi
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
The truth is that God is the force. He is the essence of life. He is pure and undefiled consciousness. He is eternal.
Mahatma Gandhi
Providence has its appointed hour for everything. We cannot command results, we can only strive.
Mahatma Gandhi
My own veneration for other faiths is the same as that for my own faith therefore no thought of conversion is possible
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
I think it would be an excellent idea.
Mahatma Gandhi
Meditation is waiting on God.
Mahatma Gandhi
God forbid that India should ever take to industrialism after the manner of the west... keeping the world in chains. If [our nation] took to similar economic exploitation, it would strip the world bare like locusts.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is the law of love that rules mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
