More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
God is the shield of the nonviolent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let the Gita be to you a mine of diamonds, as it has been to me let it be your constant guide and friend on life's way.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is my conviction that nothing enduring can be built on violence. The only safe way to overcome an enemy is to make of that enemy a friend.
Mahatma Gandhi
I still believe that man, not having been given the power of creation, does not posses the right of destroying the meanest creature that lives. The perogative of destruction belongs solely to the Creator of all that lives.
Mahatma Gandhi
Begin with duties of a man and rights will follow as spring follows winter
Mahatma Gandhi
Ahimsa calls for the strength and courage to suffer without retaliation, to receive blows without returning any.
Mahatma Gandhi
No one can ride on the back of a man unless it is bent.
Mahatma Gandhi
What is gained by violence must be lost before superior violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
The measure of a country's greatness should be based on how well it cares for its most vulnerable populations.
Mahatma Gandhi
Music has given me peace. I can remember occasions when music instantly tranquillized my mind, when I was greatly agitated over something. Music has helped me to overcome anger.
Mahatma Gandhi
My faith runs so very much faster than my reason that I can challenge the whole world and say, 'God is, was and ever shall be'.
Mahatma Gandhi
I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.
Mahatma Gandhi
Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding. The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
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
Hunger is the argument that is driving India to the spinning wheel.
Mahatma Gandhi
That nonviolence which only an individual can use is not of much use in terms of society.
Mahatma Gandhi
A person is bound to work in obedience to and in conformity to that person's own nature.
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
Life is one indivisible whole.
Mahatma Gandhi
Politics bereft of religion is absolute dirt, ever to be shunned.
Mahatma Gandhi
