More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
No one chains a slave without chaining himself.
Mahatma Gandhi
God in his wisdom circumscribed man's vision, and rightly too, for otherwise man's conceit would know no bounds.
Mahatma Gandhi
Was not war itself a crime against God and humanity, and therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered and conducted wars, war criminals?
Mahatma Gandhi
In order that knowledge may not run riot, the author of the Gita has insisted on devotion accompanying it and has given it the first place.
Mahatma Gandhi
To bear all kinds of tortures without a murmur of resentment is not possible for a human being without the strength that comes from God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Our non-co-operation is with the system the English have established in India, with the material civilization and its attendant greed and exploitation of the weak.
Mahatma Gandhi
The object of the Gita appears to me to be that of showing the most excellent way to attain self-realization.
Mahatma Gandhi
True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding the true path for ourselves, and fearlessly following it.
Mahatma Gandhi
The only way love punishes in by suffering.
Mahatma Gandhi
No human being is so bad as to be beyond redemption.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realizing Him.
Mahatma Gandhi
You may pluck out my eyes, but that cannot kill me. You may chop off my nose, but that will not kill me. But blast my belief in God, and I am dead.
Mahatma Gandhi
A satyagrahi exhausts all other means before he resorts to satyagraha.
Mahatma Gandhi
If India adopted the doctrine of love as an active part of her religion and introduced it in her politics. Swaraj would descend upon India from heaven. But I am painfully aware that that event is far off as yet.
Mahatma Gandhi
If I know Hinduism at all, it is essentially inclusive and ever-growing, ever-responsive. It gives the freest scope for imagination, speculation and reason.
Mahatma Gandhi
I am the only one, whom you may find it hard to get rid of, for I have always counted myself as a woman.
Mahatma Gandhi
Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she does not realize what a tremendous advantage she has over man. As Tolstoy used to say, they are laboring under the hypnotic influence of man. If they would realize the strength of non-violence they would not consent to be called the weaker sex.
Mahatma Gandhi
The measure of a country's greatness should be based on how well it cares for its most vulnerable populations.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is always a limit to self-indulgence, but none to self-restraint.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe in advaita, I believe in the essential unity of man and for that matter of all that lives.
Mahatma Gandhi
