More quotes by 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
Continue to grow and evolve.
Mahatma Gandhi
Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Cowardice is impotence worse than violence. The coward desires revenge but being afraid to die, he looks to others, maybe to the government of the day, to do the work of defense for him. A coward is less than a man. He does not deserve to be a member of a society of men and women.

Mahatma Gandhi
If India becomes the slave of the machine, then, I say, heaven save the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
The science of nonviolence can alone lead one to pure democracy.
Mahatma Gandhi
In a nonviolent army, the general and the officers are elected, or are as if elected, when their authority is moral and rests solely on the willing obedience of the rank and file.
Mahatma Gandhi
If non-violence is the Law of our being, the future is with Women.
Mahatma Gandhi
Democracy is a great institution and, therefore, it is liable to be greatly abused.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-co-operation is protest against an unwitting and unwilling participation in evil.
Mahatma Gandhi
The seeker is at liberty to extract from this treasure any meaning he likes, so as to enable him to enforce in his life the central teaching.
Mahatma Gandhi
Who can deny that much that passes for science and art today destroys the soul instead of uplifting it and instead of evoking the best in us, panders to our basest passions?
Mahatma Gandhi
God resides in every human form, indeed in every particle of His creations, in everything that is on his earth.
Mahatma Gandhi
