More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I must not serve a distant neighbour at the expense of the nearest.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man must choose either of the two courses, the upward or the downward but as he has the brute in him, he will more easily choose the downward course than the upward, especially when the downward course is presented to him in a beautiful garb. Man easily capitulates when sin is presented in the garb of virtue.
Mahatma Gandhi
Moral result can only be produced by moral restraints.
Mahatma Gandhi
I claim to represent all the cultures, for my religion, whatever it may be called, demands the fulfillment of all the cultures.
Mahatma Gandhi
If I arrogate to myself the exclusive title of being in the right, I usurp the function of the Deity.
Mahatma Gandhi
A smattering of English is worse than useless it is an unnecessary tax on our women.
Mahatma Gandhi
Everything we do is futile, but we must do it anyway.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Means are ends in the making
Mahatma Gandhi
God lives, but not as we. His creatures live but to die. But God is life. Therefore, goodness is not an attribute. Goodness is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
God answers prayer in His own way, not ours.
Mahatma Gandhi
It was not through democratic methods that Britain bagged India.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is only one God for us all, whether we find him through the Koran, the Zend-Avesta, The Tolmud, or the Gita.
Mahatma Gandhi
Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hinduism is like the Ganga, pure and unsullied at its source but taking in its course the impurities in the way. Even like the Ganga it is beneficent in its total effect. It takes a provincial form in every province, but the inner substance is retained everywhere.
Mahatma Gandhi
Swaraj can only be achieved through an all-round consciousness of the masses.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-co-operation means nothing less than training in self-sacrifice.
Mahatma Gandhi
No displeasure, even of the dearest friends, can put me off the duty I see clearly in front of me.
Mahatma Gandhi
A general belief seems to prevail in the colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than the savages or natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir.
Mahatma Gandhi
When you surrender completely to God, as the only truth worth having, you find yourself in service of all that exists. It becomes your joy and recreation. You never tire of serving others.
Mahatma Gandhi
