More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
My idea of village SWARAJ is that is a complete republic, independent of its neighbors for its own vital wants, and yet interdependent for many others which dependence is a necessity.
Mahatma Gandhi
I realized the true function of a lawyer was to unite parties riven asunder. The lesson was so indelibly burnt into me that a large part of my time during the twenty years of my practice as a lawyer was occupied in bringing about private compromises of hundreds of cases. I lost nothing thereby -- not even money, certainly not my soul.
Mahatma Gandhi
A smattering of English is worse than useless it is an unnecessary tax on our women.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are a lot of ways to become a failure, but never taking a chance is the most successful. As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it.
Mahatma Gandhi
I came in contact with every known Indian anarchist in London. Their bravery impressed me, but I felt that their zeal was misguided. I felt that violence was no remedy for India's ills, and that her civilisation required the use of a different and higher weapon for self-protection. - Hind Swaraj
Mahatma Gandhi
Under ideal conditions, the barrister and the bhangi (sweeper) should both get the same payment.
Mahatma Gandhi
Khaddar was conceived with a much more ambitious object, that is, to make our villages starvation-proof.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.
Mahatma Gandhi
God lives, but not as we. His creatures live but to die. But God is life. Therefore, goodness is not an attribute. Goodness is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
The outward freedom that we shall attain will only be in exact proportion to the inward freedom to which we may have grown at a given moment. And if this is a correct view of freedom, our chief energy must be concentrated on achieving reform from within.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have felt that the Gita teaches us that what cannot be followed in day-to-day practice cannot be called religion.
Mahatma Gandhi
A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hitler is a scourge sent by God to punish men for their iniquities.
Mahatma Gandhi
A selfish basis would not serve the purpose of taking a man higher and higher along the paths of evolution.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is poor faith that needs fair weather for standing firm. That alone is true faith that stands the foulest weather.
Mahatma Gandhi
If that is the law of life we must work it out in daily exisitance. Wherever there are wars, wherever we are confronted with an opponent, conquer by love. I have found that the certain law of love has answered in my own life as the law of destruction has never done.
Mahatma Gandhi
Mental violence has no potency and injures only the person whose thoughts are violent. It is otherwise with mental non-violence. It has potency which the world does not yet know.
Mahatma Gandhi
Love, otherwise ahimsa, sustains this planet of ours.
Mahatma Gandhi
God is not a Power residing in the clouds. He is an unseen Power residing within us and nearer to us than finger nails to the flesh.
Mahatma Gandhi
