Civil disobedience is a preparation for mute suffering.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Temples are like spiritual hospitals, and the sinful, who are spiritually diseased, have the first right to be ministered to by them.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
What the Sermon describes in a graphic manner, the Bhagavadgita reduces to a scientific formula.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
A dissolute character is more dissolute in thought than in deed. And the same is true of violence. Our violence in word and deed is but a feeble echo of the surging violence of thought in us.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
He who atones for sins never calculates he pours out the whole essence of his contrite heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
My nonviolence demands universal love, and you are not a small part of it.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Conservation of national sanitation is Swaraj work and it may not be postponed for a single day on any consideration whatsoever.
Mahatma Gandhi

Hatred is never overcome by hatred but by love.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
A soldier fights with an irresistible strength when he has blown up his bridges and burnt his boats. Even so, it is with a soldier of ahimsa.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
God resides in every human form, indeed in every particle of His creations, in everything that is on his earth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she does not realize what a tremendous advantage she has over man. As Tolstoy used to say, they are laboring under the hypnotic influence of man. If they would realize the strength of non-violence they would not consent to be called the weaker sex.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The true democrat is he who with purely nonviolent means defends his liberty and, therefore, his country's and ultimately that of the whole of mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Spiritual instruments suffer in their potency when their use is taught through non-spiritual messages which are self-propagating.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Ram Mohan Roy would have been a greater reformer and Lokmanya Tilak a greater scholar if they had not to start with the handicap of having to think in English and transmit their thoughts chiefly in English.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Insistence on truth can come into play when one party practices untruth or injustice. Only then can love be tested. True friendship is put to the test only when one party disregards the obligation of friendship.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Study men following the law of their higher nature, the law of love, so that when you grow to manhood, you will have improved your heritage.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.
Mahatma Gandhi
