He who runs may see that opium and such other intoxicants and narcotics stupefy a man's soul and reduce him to a level lower than that of beasts.

More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
A country that is governed by its national army can never be morally free and, therefore, its so-called weakest member can never rise to his full moral height.
Mahatma Gandhi
I could not be leading a religious life unless I identified myself with the whole of mankind, and that I could not do unless I took part in politics.
Mahatma Gandhi
There must be power in the word of a satyagraha general, not the power that the possession of limitless arms gives, but the power that purifies life which strict vigilance and a ceaseless application produce.
Mahatma Gandhi
Khadi to me is the symbol of unity of Indian humanity, of its economic freedom and equality and, therefore, ultimately, in the poetic expression of Jawaharlal Nehru, 'the livery of India's freedom'.
Mahatma Gandhi
Religion is entirely a personal matter. Each one could approach his Creator as he liked.
Mahatma Gandhi
God has been described by all the scriptures of the world as protector and saviour of the sinner.
Mahatma Gandhi
I would far rather that India perished than that she won Her freedom at the sacrifice of truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
The essence of true religious teaching is that one should serve and befriend all.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we were to drive out the English with the weapons with which they enslaved us, our slavery would still be with us even when they have gone.
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
I do not want to live at the cost of the life even of a snake. I should let him bite me to death rather than kill him.
Mahatma Gandhi
How can I even secretly harbour the thought that my neighbour's faith is inferior to mine?
Mahatma Gandhi
The socialistic conception of the West was born in an environment reeking with violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Imperialism is a negation of God. It does ungodly acts in the name of God.
Mahatma Gandhi
God never occurs to you in person but always in action.
Mahatma Gandhi
I know that not only is Swaraj our birthright, but it is our sacred duty to win it.
Mahatma Gandhi
The method of satyagraha requires that the satyagrahi should never lose hope, so long as there is the slightest ground left for it.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have even seen the writings suggesting that I am playing a deep game, that I am using the present turmoil to foist my fads on India, and am making religious experiments at India's expense. I can only answer that Satyagraha is made of sterner stuff. There is nothing reserved and nothing secret in it.
Mahatma Gandhi
No empire intoxicated with the red wine of power and the plunder of weaker races has yet lived long in this world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Good travels at a snail's pace. Those who want to do good are not selfish, they are not in a hurry, they know that to impregnate people with good requires a long time.
Mahatma Gandhi
