More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Unless nonviolence of the strong is really developed among us, there should be no thought of civil disobedience for Swaraj, whether within the states or in British India.
Mahatma Gandhi
Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph: a beginning, a struggle, and a victory.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no road towards peace peace is the road
Mahatma Gandhi
That prince is acceptable to me who becomes a prince among his people's servants.
Mahatma Gandhi
What senseless violence does is to prolong the lease of life of the British or foreign rule.
Mahatma Gandhi
Heroes are made in the hour of defeat. Success is, therefore, well described as a series of glorious defeats.
Mahatma Gandhi
I may be a despicable person, but when Truth speaks through me I am invincible.
Mahatma Gandhi
Do not crave to know the views of others, nor base your intent thereon. To think independently for yourself is a sign of fearlessness.
Mahatma Gandhi
The path of Truth is as narrow as it is straight. Even so is that of ahimsa.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is the law of our species as violence is the law of the brute.
Mahatma Gandhi
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
It is no non-violence if we merely love those that love us. It is non-violence only when we love those that hate us.
Mahatma Gandhi
I would not flinch from sacrificing even a million lives for India's liberty.
Mahatma Gandhi
My religion teaches me that a promise once made or a vow once taken for a worthy object may not be broken.
Mahatma Gandhi
For satyagraha and its offshoots, non-co-operation and civil resistance, are nothing but new names for the law of suffering.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Charkha, which is the embodiment of willing obedience and calm persistence, must therefore succeed before there is civil disobedience.
Mahatma Gandhi
Drink is not a fashion in India, as it is in the West.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have been known as a crank, faddist, madman. Evidently the reputation is well deserved. For wherever I go, I draw to myself cranks, faddists, and madmen.
Mahatma Gandhi
No one can dominate a population of 80,000,000.
Mahatma Gandhi
The external freedom won't be given to us but in the exact measure as we've known at a given moment, to developing our internal freedom.
Mahatma Gandhi
