Quote

I have found that life persists in the midst of destruction and, therefore, there must be a higher law than that of destruction. Only under that law would a well-ordered society be intelligible and life worth living.

More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi

Image
The still small voice within you must always be the final arbiter when there is a conflict of duty.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It is weakness which breeds fear, and fear breeds distrust.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
If you want real peace in the world, start with children.
Mahatma Gandhi

When I see a cow, it is not an animal to eat, it is a poem of pity for me and I worship it and I shall defend its worship against the whole world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
A thousand candles can be lighted from the flame of one candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness can be spread without diminishing that of yourself.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Nonviolent non-co-operation with evil means co-operation with all that is good.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Find purpose. The means will follow.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Sacrifice that causes pain is no sacrifice at all. True sacrifice is joy-giving and uplifting.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Life is one indivisible whole.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Nonviolence and cowardice go ill together. True nonviolence is an impossibility without the possession of unadulterated fearlessness.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It is an ever-growing belief with me that truth cannot be found by violent means.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Untouchability of foreign cloth is as much a virtue with all of us as untouchability of the suppressed classes must be a sin with every devout Hindu.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Faith is a kind of sixth sense which works in cases which are without the purview of reason.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Proved right should be capable of being vindicated by right means as against the rude i.e. sanguinary means. Man may and should shed his own blood for establishing what he considers to be his right. He may not shed the blood of his opponent who disputes his 'right'.
Mahatma Gandhi

Poverty is the greatest violence.
