More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
God is not in strength but in truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is better to be charged with cowardice and weakness than to be guilty of denial of our oath and sin against God.
Mahatma Gandhi
This belief in God has to be based on faith which transcends reason.
Mahatma Gandhi
By using violence to subjugate one another we are using violence against our own souls.
Mahatma Gandhi
It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
Mahatma Gandhi
Even the atheists, who have pretended to disbelieve in God, have believed in Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
I may be a despicable person, but when Truth speaks through me I am invincible.
Mahatma Gandhi
The music of life is in danger of being lost in the music of the voice.
Mahatma Gandhi
My faith runs so very much faster than my reason that I can challenge the whole world and say, 'God is, was and ever shall be'.
Mahatma Gandhi
Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.
Mahatma Gandhi
Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.
Mahatma Gandhi
Renunciation is everyone's prerogative.
Mahatma Gandhi
