More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Just as there are signs by which you can recognize violence with the naked eye, so is the spinning wheel to me a decisive sign of nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no one without faults, not even men of God. They are men of God not because they are faultless, but because they know their faults, they strive against them, they do not hide them, and are ever ready to correct themselves.
Mahatma Gandhi
In fact, it is more correct to say that Truth is God, than to say that God is Truth.
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
It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
Mahatma Gandhi
If I was to be their real teacher and guardian, I must touch their hearts, I must share their joys and sorrows, I must help them to solve the problems that faced them, and I must take along the right channel the surging aspirations of their youth.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is no non-violence if we merely love those that love us. It is non-violence only when we love those that hate us.
Mahatma Gandhi
Unless discipline is rooted in nonviolence, it might prove to be a source of infinite mischief.
Mahatma Gandhi
Ahimsa magnifies one's own defects, and minimizes those of the opponent. It regards the mole in one's own eye as a beam and the beam in the opponent's eye as a mole.
Mahatma Gandhi
Self-respect knows no considerations.
Mahatma Gandhi
As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance, cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side.
Mahatma Gandhi
Every expression of truth has in it the seeds of propagation, even as the sun cannot hide its light.
Mahatma Gandhi
Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is an active force of the highest order. It is soul force or the power of the godhead within us.
Mahatma Gandhi
The true source of rights is duty.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe that the sum total of the energy of mankind is not to bring us down but to lift us up, and that is the result of the definite, if unconscious, working of the law of love. The fact that mankind persists shows that the cohesive force is greater than the disruptive force, centripetal force greater than centrifugal.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
Mahatma Gandhi
For thousands to do to death a few hundreds is no bravery. It is worse than cowardice. It is unworthy of nationalism, of any religion.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have found that life persists in the midst of destruction and, therefore, there must be a higher law than that of destruction. Only under that law would a well-ordered society be intelligible and life worth living.
Mahatma Gandhi
The more I study Hindu scriptures, and the more I discuss them with Brahmins, the more I feel convinced that untouchability is the greatest blot upon Hinduism.
Mahatma Gandhi
