More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi

God gifted man with intellect so that he might know his Maker. Man abused it so that he might forget his Maker.
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
If we have listening ears, God speaks to us in our own language, whatever that language be
Mahatma Gandhi
The bomb-throwers have discredited the cause of freedom, in whose name they threw the bombs.
