More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Insistence on truth can come into play when one party practices untruth or injustice. Only then can love be tested. True friendship is put to the test only when one party disregards the obligation of friendship.
Mahatma Gandhi
The seeker after truth should be humbler than the dust. The world crushes the dust under its feet, but the seeker after truth should so humble himself that even the dust could crush him. Only then, and not till then, will he have a glimpse of truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
He who would in his own person test the fact of God's presence can do so by a living faith.
Mahatma Gandhi
In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth without humility would be an arrogant caricature.
Mahatma Gandhi
Destruction is not the law of humans. Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him. Every murder or other injury, no matter for what cause, committed or inflicted on another is a crime against humanity.
Mahatma Gandhi
Go for the throat. If you cant, go for the nads.
Mahatma Gandhi
As in laws or in war, the longest purse finally wins.
Mahatma Gandhi
A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.
Mahatma Gandhi
Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make, not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large.
Mahatma Gandhi
Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Law and the Lawgiver are one.
Mahatma Gandhi
I travel third-class because there is no fouth-class.
Mahatma Gandhi
If India won her freedom through truth and non-violence, India would not only point the way to all the exploited Asiatic nations, she would become a torch-bearer for the Negro races.
Mahatma Gandhi
A burning passion coupled with absolute detachment is the key to all success.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hand-spinning is designed to put millions of rupees in the hands of the poor villagers.
Mahatma Gandhi
The golden rule is to act fearlessly upon what one believes to be right.
Mahatma Gandhi
I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.
Mahatma Gandhi
We cannot, in a moment, get rid of habits of a lifetime.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence to be worth anything has to work in the face of hostile forces.
Mahatma Gandhi
