More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Find yourself by losing yourself for others.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have even seen the writings suggesting that I am playing a deep game, that I am using the present turmoil to foist my fads on India, and am making religious experiments at India's expense. I can only answer that Satyagraha is made of sterner stuff. There is nothing reserved and nothing secret in it.
Mahatma Gandhi
If I was to be their real teacher and guardian, I must touch their hearts, I must share their joys and sorrows, I must help them to solve the problems that faced them, and I must take along the right channel the surging aspirations of their youth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Self-respect knows no considerations.
Mahatma Gandhi
Men are good. But they are poor victims making themselves miserable under the false belief that they are doing good.
Mahatma Gandhi
In doing something, do it with love or never do it at all.
Mahatma Gandhi
In the characteristics of the perfected man of the Gita, I do not see any to correspond to physical warfare.
Mahatma Gandhi
Buddha never rejected Hinduism, but he broadened its base. He gave it a new life and a new interpretation.
Mahatma Gandhi
The fragrance of religious and spiritual life is much finer and subtler than that of the rose.
Mahatma Gandhi
Literary education must follow the education of the hand -the one gift that distinguishes man from beast.
Mahatma Gandhi
If I seem to take part in politics, it is only because politics encircles us today like the coil of a snake from which one cannot get out, no matter how much one tries. I wish therefore to wrestle with the snake.
Mahatma Gandhi
You assist an administration most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil administration never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good man will therefore resist an evil system or administration with his whole soul.
Mahatma Gandhi
How can I make difference so that I may bring peace to this world that I love and cherish so much? A name flickers instantly in my mind.
Mahatma Gandhi
A vow is fixed and unalterable determination to do a thing, when such a determination is related to something noble which can only uplift the man who makes the resolve.
Mahatma Gandhi
If you want to change the world, start with yourself.
Mahatma Gandhi
A nonviolent struggle necessarily involves construction on a small scale. It cannot therefore lead to tamas or darkness or inertia.
Mahatma Gandhi
To get rid of the infatuation for English is one of the essentials of Swaraj.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have shut my mind against nothing and I am a friend of Great Britain. I always have been. I have no axe to grind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.
Mahatma Gandhi
That we should obey laws whether good or bad is a new-fangled notion. There was no such thing in former days. The people disregarded those laws they did not like and suffered the penalties for their breach.
Mahatma Gandhi
