More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I will suffer the agony if that is to be my lot.
Mahatma Gandhi
I travel third-class because there is no fouth-class.
Mahatma Gandhi
As long as you are trying your very best, there can be no question of failure.
Mahatma Gandhi
What is equality of rights between a giant and a dwarf?
Mahatma Gandhi
I am but a poor struggling soul yearning to be wholly good, wholly truthful and wholly non-violent in thought, word and deed, but ever failing to reach the ideal which I know to be true. It is a painful climb, but each step upwards makes me feel stronger and fit for the next.
Mahatma Gandhi
Enter with me into the sufferings, not only of the people of India but of the whole world. Nonviolence is a more active and real fight against wickedness than retaliation whose very nature is to increase wickedness. It is not a weapon of the weak. It is a weapon of the strongest and bravest.
Mahatma Gandhi
God never occurs to you in person but always in action.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is possible for a single individual to defy the whole might of an unjust empire to save his honor, his religion, his soul and lay the foundation for the empire's fall or its regeneration.
Mahatma Gandhi
The seeker is at liberty to extract from this treasure any meaning he likes, so as to enable him to enforce in his life the central teaching.
Mahatma Gandhi
Men are good. But they are poor victims making themselves miserable under the false belief that they are doing good.
Mahatma Gandhi
Our peaceful non-co-operation must be constructive, non-destructive. Poison should not emerge from the throes of love.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Charkha in the hands of a poor widow brings a paltry price to her, in the hands of Jawaharlal it is an instrument of India's freedom.
Mahatma Gandhi
If Britain were honest, which I dispute, she would then embrace all nations on terms of equality.
Mahatma Gandhi
Ramanama purifies while it cures, and, therefore, it elevates.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing can be more hurtful to an honourable man than that he should be accused of bad faith.
Mahatma Gandhi
If the poet spun for half an hour daily, his poetry would gain in richness.
Mahatma Gandhi
Real power does not consist in the ability to inflict capital punishment upon the subjects, but in the will and the ability to protect the subjects against the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
A national spirit is necessary for national existence. A flag is a material aid to the development of such a spirit.
Mahatma Gandhi
You cannot succeed in one department of life while cheating on another, life is an indivisible whole.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
