More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
There are subjects where reason cannot take us far and we have to accept things on faith. Faith then does not contradict reason but transcends it. Faith is a kind of sixth sense which works in cases which are without the purview of reason.
Mahatma Gandhi
God does not punish directly. His ways are inscrutable.
Mahatma Gandhi
A man who would interpret the scriptures must have the spiritual discipline.
Mahatma Gandhi
In a nonviolent army, the general and the officers are elected, or are as if elected, when their authority is moral and rests solely on the willing obedience of the rank and file.
Mahatma Gandhi
If Hinduism teaches hatred of Islam or of non-Hindus, it is doomed to destruction.
Mahatma Gandhi
We may not go about parroting truth and nonviolence and steering clear of them in our daily life.

Mahatma Gandhi
The function of violence is to obtain reform by external means, the function of passive resistance, that is, soul-force, is to obtain it by growth from within, which, in its turn, is obtained by self-suffering, self-purification.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hinduism has sinned in giving sanction to untouchability.
Mahatma Gandhi
A burning passion coupled with absolute detachment is the key to all success.
Mahatma Gandhi
The panoplied warrior of truth and nonviolence is ever and incessantly active.
Mahatma Gandhi
When you are right,you have no need to be angry. When you are wrong, you have no right to be angry.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is a universal law acting under all circumstances.
Mahatma Gandhi
The world is changing every moment, and is therefore unreal. It has non permanent existence.
Mahatma Gandhi
One has to speak out and stand up for one's convictions. Inaction at a time of conflagration is inexcusable.
Mahatma Gandhi
