More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The removal of untouchability is a question of the purification of Hinduism.
Mahatma Gandhi
Civil disobedience is not only the natural right of a people, especially when they have no effective voice in their own Government, but that it is also a substitute for violence or armed rebellion.
Mahatma Gandhi
Active nonviolence is necessary for those who will offer civil disobedience but the will and proper training are enough for the people to co-operate with those who are chosen for civil disobedience.
Mahatma Gandhi
We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean.
Mahatma Gandhi
God does not punish directly. His ways are inscrutable.
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
Khadi mentality means decentralization of the production and distribution of the necessaries of life.
Mahatma Gandhi
It's not just words. Action expresses priorities.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is the virtue of the manly. The coward is innocent of it.
Mahatma Gandhi
You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.
Mahatma Gandhi
All your scholarship, all your study of Shakespeare and Wordsworth would be in vain, if at the same time you do not build your character, and attain mastery over your thoughts and actions.
Mahatma Gandhi
A wretched parent who claims obedience from his children, without first doing his duty by them, excites nothing but contempt.
Mahatma Gandhi
God will not be God, if He allowed Himself to be the object of proof by His creatures.
Mahatma Gandhi
Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolent nationalism is a necessary condition of corporate or civilized life.
Mahatma Gandhi
Ramanama purifies while it cures, and, therefore, it elevates.
Mahatma Gandhi
Purity of mind and idleness are incompatible.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let us, by praying, purify ourselves and we shall not only remove untouchability but shall also hasten the advent of Swaraj.
Mahatma Gandhi
We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse, the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.
Mahatma Gandhi
Mortification of the flesh has been held all the world over as a condition of spiritual progress.
Mahatma Gandhi
