More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
There is no yajna (sacrifice) greater than spinning calculated to bring peace to the troubled spirit, to soothe the distracted student's mind, to spiritualize his life.
Mahatma Gandhi
In His boundless love God permits the atheist to live.
Mahatma Gandhi
The line of demarcation between democracy and monocracy is often thin, but rigid and stronger than unbreakable steel.
Mahatma Gandhi
Himsa does not need to be taught, Man as animal is violent, but as spirit is nonviolent.
Mahatma Gandhi
A man of truth must ever be confident, if he has also equal need to be diffident.
Mahatma Gandhi
The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.
Mahatma Gandhi
Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she does not realize what a tremendous advantage she has over man. As Tolstoy used to say, they are laboring under the hypnotic influence of man. If they would realize the strength of non-violence they would not consent to be called the weaker sex.
Mahatma Gandhi
Love has more force than a besieging army.
Mahatma Gandhi
A religion cannot be sustained by the number of its lip-followers denying in their lives its tenets.
Mahatma Gandhi
I cannot imagine anything nobler or more national than that for, say, one hour in the day we should all do the labor the poor must do, and thus identify ourselves with them and through them, with all mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Fearlessness presupposes calmness and peace of mind.
Mahatma Gandhi
The path of bhakti, karma and love as expounded in the Gita leaves no room for the despising of man by man.
Mahatma Gandhi
When a man vowed to nonviolence as the law governing human beings dares to refer to war, he can only do it so as to strain every nerve to avoid it.
Mahatma Gandhi
A man of truth must also be a man of care.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have in my life never been guilty of saying things I did not mean - my nature is to go straight to the heart and if often I fail in doing so for the time being, I know that Truth ultimately makes itself heard and felt, as it has often done in my experience.
Mahatma Gandhi
If our ahimsa is not of the brave but of the weak, and if it will bend the knee before himsa, Gandhism deserves to be destroyed.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe in advaita, I believe in the essential unity of man and for that matter of all that lives.
Mahatma Gandhi
To remove untouchability is a penance that caste Hindus owe to Hinduism and to themselves.
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
A semi-starved nation can have neither religion nor art nor organization.
Mahatma Gandhi
