More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
You can only have lasting peace based on justice.
Mahatma Gandhi
Violent means will give violent freedom.
Mahatma Gandhi
The hardest metal yields to sufficient heat. Even so must the hardest heart melt before sufficiency of the heat of non- violence. And there is no limit to the capacity of non-violence to generate heat.
Mahatma Gandhi
Manliness consists not in bluff, bravado or loneliness. It consists in daring to do the right thing and facing consequences whether it is in matters social, political or other. It consists in deeds not words.
Mahatma Gandhi
In a democratic scheme, money invested in the promotion of learning gives a tenfold return to the people even as a seed sown in good soil returns a luxuriant crop.
Mahatma Gandhi
Unexampled bravery, born of nonviolence, coupled with strict honesty shown by a fair number of Muslims, is sure to infect the whole of India.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have mentally become a woman in order to steal into her heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
Mahatma Gandhi
Renunciation means absence of hankering after fruit.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe it to be perfectly possible for an individual to adopt the way of life of the future. . . without having to wait for others to do so.
Mahatma Gandhi
Our struggle does not end so long as there is a single human being considered untouchable on account of his birth.
Mahatma Gandhi
My attempt and prayer are and will be for an honorable peace between belligerent nations in the least possible time.
Mahatma Gandhi
Ahimsa is an attribute of the brave. Cowardice and ahimsa don't go together any more that water and fire.
Mahatma Gandhi
I would rather have India reduced to a state of pauperism than have thousands of drunkards in our midst.
Mahatma Gandhi
The truest test of civilization, culture and dignity is character and not clothing.
Mahatma Gandhi
That nation is great which rests its head upon death as its pillow.
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
If what passed as nonviolence does not enable people to protect the honour of women, or if it does not enable women to protect their own honour, it is not nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
We often confuse spiritual knowledge with spiritual attainment. Spirituality is not a matter of knowing scriptures and engaging in philosophical discussions. It is a matter of heart culture, of unmeasurable strength.
Mahatma Gandhi
We are all very imperfect and weak things, and if we are to destroy all whose ways we do not like, there will be not a man left alive.
Mahatma Gandhi
