More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is not an easy thing to understand, still less to practice, weak as we are.
Mahatma Gandhi
That which makes man the mere plaything of fate is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hatred is never overcome by hatred but by love.
Mahatma Gandhi
Concentrate on your task.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-co-operation means refusal both to help the sinner in his sin and not to accept any help or gift from him till he has repented.
Mahatma Gandhi
Human language can but imperfectly describe God's ways. I am sensible of the fact that they are indescribable and inscrutable. But if mortal man will dare to describe them, he has no better medium than his own inarticulate speech.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are as many different religions as there are individuals.
Mahatma Gandhi
One who hooks his fortune to ahimsa, the law of love, daily lessens the circle of destruction and to that extent promotes life and love.
Mahatma Gandhi
Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state.
Mahatma Gandhi
An opponent is entitled to the same regard for his principles as we would expect others to have for ours. Non-violence demands that we should see every opportunity to win over opponents.
Mahatma Gandhi
When a slave begins to take pride in his fetters and hugs them like precious ornaments, the triumph of the slave-owner is complete.
Mahatma Gandhi
War is an unmitigated evil. But it certainly does one good thing. It drives away fear and brings bravery to the surface.
Mahatma Gandhi
To benefit by others' killing and to delude oneself into the belief that one is being very religions and nonviolent is sheer self-deception.
Mahatma Gandhi
For a satyagrahi brigade only those are eligible who believe in ahimsa and satya.
Mahatma Gandhi
Retaliation is counter-poison and poison breeds more poison. The nectar of Love alone can destroy the poison of hate.
Mahatma Gandhi
If the people resolve and carry out this programme of boycott and Swadeshi, they would not have to wait for Swaraj even for a year.
Mahatma Gandhi
True knowledge gives a moral standing and moral strength.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hinduism has made marvelous discoveries in things of religion, of the spirit, of the soul. We have no eye for these great and fine discoveries. We are dazzled by the material progress that Western science has made. Ancient India has survived because Hinduism was not developed along material but spiritual lines.
Mahatma Gandhi
It was the cowards who died many times before their death.
Mahatma Gandhi
