More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
To see farther, you must climb higher.
Mahatma Gandhi
Even a little untruth destroys a man, as a drop of poison ruins milk.
Mahatma Gandhi
An error can never become true however many times you repeat it. The truth can never be wrong, even if no one hears it.
Mahatma Gandhi
I cannot imagine anything nobler or more national than that for, say, one hour in the day we should all do the labor the poor must do, and thus identify ourselves with them and through them, with all mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Gita has become for me the key to the scriptures of the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
When there is no desire for fruit, there is also no temptation for untruth or himsa.
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

Mahatma Gandhi
When the wheel was accepted as part of the national flag, it was surely implied that the spinning wheel would hum in every household.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-co-operation is not a movement of drag, bluster or bluff.
Mahatma Gandhi
One must become as humble as the dust before he can discover truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
My trust is solely in God. And I trust men only because I trust God. If I had no God to rely upon, I should be like Timon, a hater of my species.
Mahatma Gandhi
Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi
The English peace is the peace of the grave.
Mahatma Gandhi
We dare not enter the kingdom of liberty with mere life-homage to truth and nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Waiting on God means increasing purity.
Mahatma Gandhi
