More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
At the centre of nonviolence is a force which is self-acting.
Mahatma Gandhi
As the elephant is powerless to think in the terms of the ant, in spite of the best intentions in the world, even so is the Englishman powerless to think in the terms of, or legislate for, the Indian.
Mahatma Gandhi
God tries his votaries through and through but never beyond endurance. He gives them strength enough to go through the ordeal he prescribes for them.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
A satyagrahi loves his so-called enemy even as he loves his friend. He has no enemy.
