More quotes by 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
Forgiveness is choosing to love. It is the first skill of self-giving love.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence and cowardice go ill together. True nonviolence is an impossibility without the possession of unadulterated fearlessness.
Mahatma Gandhi
My austerities, fasting and prayers are, I know, of no value if I rely upon them for reforming me. My penance is the prayer of a bleeding heart for forgiveness for sins unwittingly committed.
Mahatma Gandhi
To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that one that must be loved is not a friend. There is not merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend.
Mahatma Gandhi
Is not labour, like learning, its own reward?
Mahatma Gandhi
If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.
Mahatma Gandhi
The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolent nationalism is a necessary condition of corporate or civilized life.
Mahatma Gandhi
God rules even where Satan seems to hold sway, because the latter exists only on God's sufferance.
Mahatma Gandhi
If the Commander-in-Chief will look beyond the defence forces, he will discover that the real India is not military but peace-loving.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have mentally become a woman in order to steal into her heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
To a people famishing and idle, the only acceptable form in which God can dare appear is work and promise of food as wages.
Mahatma Gandhi
The only true resistance to this Government... [is] to cease to co-operate with it.
Mahatma Gandhi
Even the most sublime ideas sound ridiculous if heard too often. Be the change that you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
A general belief seems to prevail in the colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than the savages or natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir.
Mahatma Gandhi
Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding.
Mahatma Gandhi
Cent percent swadeshi gives sufficient scope for the most insatiable ambition for service and a satisfaction of every kind of talent.
Mahatma Gandhi
If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
Mahatma Gandhi
Seeing God face to face is to feel that He is enthroned in our hearts even as a child feels a mother's affection without needing any demonstration.
Mahatma Gandhi
