More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha does not depend on outside help, it derives all its strength from within.
Mahatma Gandhi
Its unadulterated belief in the oneness of God and a practical application of the truth of the brotherhood of man for those who are nominally within its fold are two distinctive contributions of Islam.
Mahatma Gandhi
The panoplied warrior of truth and nonviolence is ever and incessantly active.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have discovered that man is superior to the system he propounds.
Mahatma Gandhi
God's ways are more than Man's arithmetic.
Mahatma Gandhi
I shall die, but I will not kill.
Mahatma Gandhi
Is the God of the Mahometan different from the God of the Hindu? Religions are different roads converging to the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads so long as we reach the same goal? Wherein is the cause for quarreling?
Mahatma Gandhi
If every component part of the nation claims the right of self-determination for itself, there is no one nation and there is no independence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth and nonviolence are perhaps the activest forces you have in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
My dharma teaches me to give my life for the sake of others without even attempting to kill.
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
The real love is to love them that hate you, to love your neighbor even though you distrust him.
Mahatma Gandhi
Civilization is that mode of conduct which points out to man the path of duty.
Mahatma Gandhi
Even a little untruth destroys a man, as a drop of poison ruins milk.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hatred is never overcome by hatred but by love.
Mahatma Gandhi
History has no record of a nation having adopted nonviolent resistance.
Mahatma Gandhi
Men should do their actual living and working in communities small enough to permit of genuine self-government and the assumption of personal responsibilities, federated into larger units in such a way that the temptation to abuse great power should not arise.
Mahatma Gandhi
Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.
Mahatma Gandhi
Faith is a kind of sixth sense which works in cases which are without the purview of reason.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man must choose either of the two courses, the upward or the downward but as he has the brute in him, he will more easily choose the downward course than the upward, especially when the downward course is presented to him in a beautiful garb. Man easily capitulates when sin is presented in the garb of virtue.
Mahatma Gandhi
