More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Hinduism is a living organism. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. Knowledge is limitless and so also the application of truth. Everyday we add to our knowledge of the power of Atman (soul) and we shall keep on doing so.
Mahatma Gandhi
The path is the goal.
Mahatma Gandhi
... when all violence subsides in the human heart, the state which remains is love. It is not something we have to acquire it is always present, and needs only to be uncovered. This is our real nature, not merely to love one person here, another there, but to be love itself.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have made the world's faith in God my own and as my faith is effaceable, I regard that faith as amounting to experience.
Mahatma Gandhi
Without real nonviolence, there would be perfect anarchy.
Mahatma Gandhi
Music has given me peace. I can remember occasions when music instantly tranquillized my mind, when I was greatly agitated over something. Music has helped me to overcome anger.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
If you Christians acted more like your Christ, the world would be a better place.
Mahatma Gandhi
In fact, it is more correct to say that Truth is God, than to say that God is Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
I implicitly believe in the truth of the saying that not a blade of grass moves but by His will. He will save it (my life) if He needs it for further service in this body. None can save it against His will.
Mahatma Gandhi
I am the only one, whom you may find it hard to get rid of, for I have always counted myself as a woman.
Mahatma Gandhi
Study men following the law of their higher nature, the law of love, so that when you grow to manhood, you will have improved your heritage.
Mahatma Gandhi
People say true friends must always hold hands, but true friends don't need to hold hands because they know the other hand will always be there.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nanda broke down every barrier and won his way to freedom not by brag, not by bluster, but by the purest form of self-suffering.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth stands for the fact, nonviolence negates the fact.
Mahatma Gandhi
The external freedom won't be given to us but in the exact measure as we've known at a given moment, to developing our internal freedom.
Mahatma Gandhi
