More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
My optimism rests on my belief in the infinite possibilities of the individual to develop nonviolence. . . . In a gentle way you can shake the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Reason has to be strengthened by suffering, and suffering opens the eyes of understanding.
Mahatma Gandhi
I want to realize brotherhood or identity not merely with the beings called human, but I want to realize identity with all life, even with such things as crawl upon earth.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe it to be perfectly possible for an individual to adopt the way of life of the future. . . without having to wait for others to do so.
Mahatma Gandhi
My notion of democracy is that under it the weakest shall have the same opportunities as the strongest.
Mahatma Gandhi
I cannot give active support in the war effort without denying a life-time of practice.
Mahatma Gandhi
How can I even secretly harbour the thought that my neighbour's faith is inferior to mine?

Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha has been designed as an effective substitute for violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe that cunning is not only morally wrong but also politically expedient, and have therefore always discountenanced its use even from the practical standpoint.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is always enough for the needy, there is never enough for the greedy.
Mahatma Gandhi
I honor the place within you where, when you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us.
Mahatma Gandhi
We often confuse spiritual knowledge with spiritual attainment. Spirituality is not a matter of knowing scriptures and engaging in philosophical discussions. It is a matter of heart culture, of unmeasurable strength.
Mahatma Gandhi
God is not a Power residing in the clouds. He is an unseen Power residing within us and nearer to us than finger nails to the flesh.
Mahatma Gandhi
Moral result can only be produced by moral restraints.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
Mahatma Gandhi
The elephant needs a thousand times more food than the ant but that is not an indication of inequality.
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
