More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I do not wish my house to be walled and my windows stuffed. I want all cultures to blow freely through my dwelling.
Mahatma Gandhi
A slave- holder, who has decided to abolish slavery, does not consult his slaves whether they desire freedom or not.
Mahatma Gandhi
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
How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done.
Mahatma Gandhi
I felt that God could be realized only through service. And service for me was the service of India, because it came to me without my seeking, because I had an aptitude for it.
Mahatma Gandhi
To conceal ignorance is to increase it. An honest confession of it, however, gives ground for the hope that it will diminish some day or the other.
Mahatma Gandhi
The pursuit of truth does not permit violence on one's opponent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it.
Mahatma Gandhi
A free India will throw all her weight in favour of world disarmament and should herself be prepared to give a lead in this.
Mahatma Gandhi
If there is violence, it will certainly be crushed because violence can only end in a disgraceful rout.
Mahatma Gandhi
God has so ordered this world that no one can keep his goodness or badness exclusively to himself.
Mahatma Gandhi
I still believe that man, not having been given the power of creation, does not posses the right of destroying the meanest creature that lives. The perogative of destruction belongs solely to the Creator of all that lives.
Mahatma Gandhi
Painters and poets are obliged to exaggerate the proportions of their figures in order to give true perspective.
Mahatma Gandhi
I want to realize brotherhood or identity not merely with the beings called human, but I want to realize identity with all life, even with such things as crawl upon earth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Conquer the heart of the enemy with truth and love, not by violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Mass civil disobedience was for the attainment of independence.
Mahatma Gandhi
In this, of all the countries in the world, possession of inordinate wealth by individuals should be held as a crime against Indian humanity.
Mahatma Gandhi
Faith is a kind of sixth sense which works in cases which are without the purview of reason.
Mahatma Gandhi
Purity of mind and idleness are incompatible.
Mahatma Gandhi
A selfish basis would not serve the purpose of taking a man higher and higher along the paths of evolution.
Mahatma Gandhi
