Mahatma Gandhi
I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
Mahatma Gandhi
Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.
Mahatma Gandhi
If India adopted the doctrine of love as an active part of her religion and introduced it in her politics. Swaraj would descend upon India from heaven. But I am painfully aware that that event is far off as yet.
Mahatma Gandhi
Healthy and nourishing food was the only alpha and omega of rural economy.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
We cannot, in a moment, get rid of habits of a lifetime.
Mahatma Gandhi
True democracy is not inconsistent with a few persons representing the spirit, the hope and the aspirations of those whom they claim to represent.
Mahatma Gandhi
A heart-felt prayer is not recitation with the lips. It is a yearning from within which expresses itself in every word, every act, nay every thought of people.
Mahatma Gandhi
Throughout the history of mankind there have been murderers and tyrants and while it may seem momentarily that they have the upper hand, they have always fallen. Always.
Mahatma Gandhi
He who does not see God in the next person he meets need look no further.
Mahatma Gandhi
I must dissent emphatically from any proposal to spend any money on preparing a statue of me, more especially at a time when people do not have enough food and clothing.
Mahatma Gandhi
