More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is an intensely active force when properly understood and used.
Mahatma Gandhi
The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful then a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
Mahatma Gandhi
I shall content myself with merely declaring my firm conviction that, for the seeker who would live in fear of God and who would see Him face to face, restraint in diet both as to quantity and quality is as essential as restraint in thought and speech.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence means an ocean of compassion. It means shedding from us every trace of ill will for others. It does not mean abjectness or timidity, or fleeing in fear. It means, on the contrary, firmness of mind and courage, a resolute spirit.
Mahatma Gandhi
When anything assumes the strength of a creed, it becomes self-sustained and derives the needed support from within.
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
A principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practise perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.
Mahatma Gandhi
Find purpose. The means will follow.
Mahatma Gandhi
Fear is not a disease of the body fear kills the soul.
Mahatma Gandhi
The builders of the British Indian Empire have patiently built its four pillars-the European interests, the army, the Indian princes and the communal divisions.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whilst the Bihar calamity damages the body, the calamity brought about by untouchability corrodes the very soul.
Mahatma Gandhi
History is replete with instances of men, who, by dying with courage and compassion on their lips converted the hearts of their violent opponents.
Mahatma Gandhi
The pursuit of truth does not permit violence on one's opponent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Swaraj can only be achieved through an all-round consciousness of the masses.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth is God, and Truth overrides all our plans. The whole Truth is only embodied within the heart of Great Power-Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
The only way by which you and I can wean orthodox Hindus from their bigotry is by patient argument and correct conduct.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whatever strength the masses have is due entirely to ahimsa, however imperfect or defective its practice might have been.
Mahatma Gandhi
I must not serve a distant neighbour at the expense of the nearest.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nanda broke down every barrier and won his way to freedom not by brag, not by bluster, but by the purest form of self-suffering.
Mahatma Gandhi
