More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
And whilst he may not claim superiority by reason of learning, I myself must not withold that meed of homage that learning, wherever it resides, always commands.
Mahatma Gandhi
Ahimsa is the highest ideal. It is meant for the brave, never for the cowardly.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Conquer the heart of the enemy with truth and love, not by violence.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
The music of life is in danger of being lost in the music of the voice.
Mahatma Gandhi
If our ahimsa is not of the brave but of the weak, and if it will bend the knee before himsa, Gandhism deserves to be destroyed.
Mahatma Gandhi
A democrat should not rely upon the force of the arms his state could flaunt in the face of the world, but on the moral force his state could put at the disposal of the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
An institution that suffers from a plethora of leaders is surely in a bad way.
Mahatma Gandhi
The sky may be overcast today with clouds, but a fervent prayer to God is enough to dispel them.
Mahatma Gandhi
I shall die, but I will not kill.
Mahatma Gandhi
The purer I try to become, the nearer I feel to be to God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Where there are millions upon millions of units of idle labour, it is no use thinking of labour-saving devices.
Mahatma Gandhi
God is that indefinable something which we all feel but which we do not know.
Mahatma Gandhi
That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake.
Mahatma Gandhi
