More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Sacrifice that causes pain is no sacrifice at all. True sacrifice is joy-giving and uplifting.
Mahatma Gandhi
The pilgrimage to Swaraj is a painful climb.
Mahatma Gandhi
To kill these (rabid) dogs, in my opinion, amount to himsa, but I believe it to be inevitable if we are to escape much greater himsa.
Mahatma Gandhi
True ahimsa should wear a smile even on a deathbed brought about by an assailant. It is only with that ahimsa that we can befriend our opponents and win their love.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is the duty of a non-co-operator to preach disaffection towards the existing order of things. Non-co-operators are but giving disciplined expression to a nation's outraged feelings.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let our first act each morning be the following resolve: I shall not fear anyone on Earth. I shall fear only God.
Mahatma Gandhi
No one should dogmatize about the capacity of human nature for degradation or exaltation.
Mahatma Gandhi
I do not believe that the spiritual law works on a field of its own. On the contrary, it expresses itself only through the ordinary activities of life. It thus affects the economic, the social and the political fields.
Mahatma Gandhi
The law of sacrifice is uniform throughout the world. To be effective it demands the sacrifice of the bravest and the most spotless.
Mahatma Gandhi
A wretched parent who claims obedience from his children, without first doing his duty by them, excites nothing but contempt.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Vedas are as indefinable as God and Hinduism.
Mahatma Gandhi
Painters and poets are obliged to exaggerate the proportions of their figures in order to give true perspective.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no yajna (sacrifice) greater than spinning calculated to bring peace to the troubled spirit, to soothe the distracted student's mind, to spiritualize his life.
Mahatma Gandhi
Woman is the embodiment of sacrifice and suffering and her advent to public life should, therefore, result in purifying it, in restraining unbridled ambition and accumulation of property.
Mahatma Gandhi
My only sanction is the love and affection in which you hold me. But it has its weaknesses, as it has its strengths.
Mahatma Gandhi
Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding.
Mahatma Gandhi
I will not have the power of nonviolence to be underestimated in order to cover my limitations or weaknesses.
Mahatma Gandhi
Retaliation is counter-poison and poison breeds more poison. The nectar of Love alone can destroy the poison of hate.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have learnt through bitter experience the one supreme lesson to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmuted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmuted into a power which can move the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have no other wish in this world but to find light and joy and peace through Hinduism.
Mahatma Gandhi
