More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
In Swaraj, based on ahimsa, people need not know their rights, but it is also necessary for them to know their duties.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Conservation of national sanitation is Swaraj work and it may not be postponed for a single day on any consideration whatsoever.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have repeatedly stated that satyagraha never fails and that one perfect satyagrahi is enough to vindicate Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
A friendship that exacts oneness of opinion and conduct is not worth much.
Mahatma Gandhi
The real seat of taste was not the tongue but the mind

When there is war, the poet lays down the lyre, the lawyer his law reports, the schoolboy his books.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are sufficient resources on this planet to answer the needs of all, but not enough to satisfy everyone's greed.
Mahatma Gandhi
One thing we have endeavoured to observe most scrupulously, namely, never to depart from the strictest facts and, in dealing with the difficult questions that have arisen during the year, we hope that we have used the utmost moderation possible under the circumstances.
Mahatma Gandhi
Faith alone is the sun of life.
Mahatma Gandhi
The hater hates not for the sake of hatred but because he wants to drive away from his country the hated being or beings.
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
Find purpose. The means will follow.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Unless nonviolence of the strong is really developed among us, there should be no thought of civil disobedience for Swaraj, whether within the states or in British India.
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
To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith.
Mahatma Gandhi
Spiritual instruments suffer in their potency when their use is taught through non-spiritual messages which are self-propagating.
Mahatma Gandhi
The true source of rights is duty.
Mahatma Gandhi
We must become the change we want to see.
Mahatma Gandhi
