Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Ahimsa calls for the strength and courage to suffer without retaliation, to receive blows without returning any.
Mahatma Gandhi
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
If you Christians acted more like your Christ, the world would be a better place.
Mahatma Gandhi
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.
Mahatma Gandhi
India unarmed would not require to be destroyed through poison gas or bombardment.
