More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Imperialism is a negation of God. It does ungodly acts in the name of God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Conquer the heart of the enemy with truth and love, not by violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
The thing about you Christians, is that you are so unlike your Christ.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hinduism has become a conservative religion and, therefore, a mighty force because of the swadeshi spirit underlying it.
Mahatma Gandhi
I came in contact with every known Indian anarchist in London. Their bravery impressed me, but I felt that their zeal was misguided. I felt that violence was no remedy for India's ills, and that her civilisation required the use of a different and higher weapon for self-protection. - Hind Swaraj
Mahatma Gandhi
What faith can you place in a general or a soldier who lacks resolution and determination, who says, 'I shall keep guard as long as I can'?
Mahatma Gandhi
I have learnt through bitter experience the one supreme lesson to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmuted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmuted into a power which can move the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
If one has no affection for a person or a system, one should feel free to give the fullest expression to his disaffection so long as he does not contemplate, promote, or incite violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him.
Mahatma Gandhi
Is it not possible for us all to realize that the masses will never mount to freedom through murder?
Mahatma Gandhi
I do not want my house to be rounded by walls and my windows to be closed to other cultures. I wish to become familiar with the culture of lands as much as possible but I will not permit them to affect me or shake me from my own status.
Mahatma Gandhi
You cannot cure a lesser evil by a greater evil.
Mahatma Gandhi
The law of sacrifice is uniform throughout the world. To be effective it demands the sacrifice of the bravest and the most spotless.
Mahatma Gandhi
The willing sacrifice of the innocents is the most powerful retort to insolent tyranny that has yet to be conceived by God or man.
Mahatma Gandhi
Love, otherwise ahimsa, sustains this planet of ours.
Mahatma Gandhi
True education is that which proves useful in life and makes you industrious.
Mahatma Gandhi
Everyone has faith in God though everyone does not know it. For everyone has faith in himself and that multiplied to the nth degree is God. The sum total of all that lives is God. We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean.
Mahatma Gandhi
I must not refrain from saying that India can gain more by waiving the right of punishment.
Mahatma Gandhi
Social service that savours of patronage is not service.
Mahatma Gandhi
I hold too that whatever may be true of other countries, a bloody revolution will not succeed in India.
Mahatma Gandhi
