More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I call myself a labourer because I take pride in calling myself a spinner, weaver, farmer and scavenger.
Mahatma Gandhi
I do not want any patronage, as I do not give any. I am a lover of my own liberty, and so I would do nothing to restrict yours. I simply want to please my own conscience which is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. There is nothing more potent than thought. Deed follows word and word follows thought. The word is the result of a mighty thought, and where the thought is mighty and pure the result is always mighty and pure.
Mahatma Gandhi
To me God is truth and love, God is ethics and morality, God is fearlessness.
Mahatma Gandhi
God is the shield of the nonviolent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Lovers of Swaraj cannot rest till a solution is found which would allay Mussalman apprehensions and yet not endanger Swaraj.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we all discharge our duties, rights will not be far to seek.
Mahatma Gandhi
Civility does not ...mean the mere outward gentleness of speech cultivated for the occasion, but an inborn gentleness and desire to do the opponent good.
Mahatma Gandhi
A true and nonviolent combination of labour would act like a magnet attracting to it all the needed capital.
Mahatma Gandhi
Self-defense...is the only honourable course where there is unreadiness for self-immolation.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we want to cultivate a true spirit of democracy we cannot afford to be intolerant. Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause.
Mahatma Gandhi
To remove untouchability is a penance that caste Hindus owe to Hinduism and to themselves.
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
Passive resistance is a method of securing rights by personal suffering it is the reverse of resistance by arms.
Mahatma Gandhi
Be the change you seek.
Mahatma Gandhi
However virile the English language may be, it can never become the language of the masses of India.
Mahatma Gandhi
The day a woman can walk freely on the roads at night, that day we can say that India has achieved independence
Mahatma Gandhi
The Law which governs all life is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
None, while in flesh, can be entirely free from himsa, because one never completely renounces the will to live.
Mahatma Gandhi
