Image
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
Image
The sacred thread and the tuft of hair without a pure heart and a spirit of toleration do not make a Hindu.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The highest truth needs no communicating, for it is by its very nature self-propelling. It radiates its influence silently as the rose its fragrance without the intervention of a medium.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Once Jesus had blazed the trail, his twelve disciples could carry on his mission without his presence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Human language can but imperfectly describe God's ways. I am sensible of the fact that they are indescribable and inscrutable. But if mortal man will dare to describe them, he has no better medium than his own inarticulate speech.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The only way Hinduism can convert the whole world to cow-protection is by giving an object-lesson in cow-protection and all it means.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Untouchability is a many-headed monster and forms, some of them so subtle as not to be easily detected.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Man's upward progress means ever increasing difficulty, which is to be welcomed.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
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
Image
Outward Peace is useless without inner Peace
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It is not a mistake to commit a mistake, for no one commits a mistake knowing it to be one. But it is a mistake not to correct the mistake after knowing it to be one. If you are afraid of committing a mistake, you are afraid of doing anything at all. You will correct your mistakes whenever you find them.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Belief in one God is the cornerstone of all religions.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I have found by experience that man makes his plans to be upset by God, but, at the same time, where the ultimate goal is the search of truth, on matter how a man's plans are frustrated the issue is never injurious and often better than anticipated.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I hold that the world is sick of armed rebellions.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
A person who believes in nonviolence believes in a living God. He cannot accept defeat.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
A man who wants to control his animal passions easily does so if he controls his palate.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
My Hindu instinct tells me that all religions are more or less true.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. There is nothing more potent than thought. Deed follows word and word follows thought. The word is the result of a mighty thought, and where the thought is mighty and pure the result is always mighty and pure.
Mahatma Gandhi
