Quote

I do not want my house to be rounded by walls and my windows to be closed to other cultures. I wish to become familiar with the culture of lands as much as possible but I will not permit them to affect me or shake me from my own status.

If love or non-violence be not the law of our being, the whole of my argument falls to pieces.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Independence of my conception means nothing less than the realization of the Kingdom of God within you and on this earth.
Mahatma Gandhi

In a plan of life based on nonviolence, woman has as much right to shape her own destiny as man has to shape his.

Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Nirvana is the utter extinction of all that is base in us, all that is vicious in us. Nirvana is not like the black, dead peace of the grave, but the living peace, the living happiness of a soul which is conscious of itself and conscious of having found its own abode in the heart of the Eternal.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Let the Jews who claim to be the chosen race prove their title by choosing the way of non-violence for vindicating their position on earth. Every country is their home, including Palestine, not by aggression but by loving service
Mahatma Gandhi

A seeker of truth will never begin by discounting his opponent's statement as unworthy of trust.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance, cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It is the law of love that rules mankind. Had violence, i.e. hate, rules us we would have become extinct long ago. And yet, the tragedy of it is that the so-called civilised men and nations conduct themselves as if the basis of society was violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Buddha renounced every worldly happiness because he wanted to share with the whole world his happiness which was to be had by men who sacrificed and suffered in the search for truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
God is always the upholder of justice.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I have felt that the Gita teaches us that what cannot be followed in day-to-day practice cannot be called religion.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
To find truth completely is to realize oneself and one's destiny, i.e. to become perfect.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
If everybody lives by the sweat of his brow, the earth will become a paradise.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Faith becomes lame, when it ventures into matters pertaining to reason!
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Man will ever remain imperfect, and it will always be his part to try to be perfect.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Violent nationalism, otherwise known as imperialism, is a curse.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Civility does not ...mean the mere outward gentleness of speech cultivated for the occasion, but an inborn gentleness and desire to do the opponent good.
