More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
It is a tragedy that religion for us means, today, nothing more than restrictions on food and drink, nothing more than adherence to absence of superiority and inferiority.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth and nonviolence are as old as the hills.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Your future depends on what you do today.

Mahatma Gandhi
The spinning wheel means national consciousness and a contribution by every individual to a definite constructive national work.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
I have even seen the writings suggesting that I am playing a deep game, that I am using the present turmoil to foist my fads on India, and am making religious experiments at India's expense. I can only answer that Satyagraha is made of sterner stuff. There is nothing reserved and nothing secret in it.
Mahatma Gandhi
