My austerities, fasting and prayers are, I know, of no value if I rely upon them for reforming me. My penance is the prayer of a bleeding heart for forgiveness for sins unwittingly committed.

More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is an intensely active force when properly understood and used.
Mahatma Gandhi
The test of friendship is assistance in adversity, and that, too, unconditional assistance.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whatever one does cheerfully is good for health.
Mahatma Gandhi
The inner voice is something which cannot be described in words. But sometimes we have a positive feeling that something in us prompts us to do a certain thing. The time when I learnt to recognise this voice was, I may say, the time when I started praying regularly.
Mahatma Gandhi
Many could forgo heavy meals, a full wardrobe, a fine house, etcetera. It is the ego they cannot forgo.
Mahatma Gandhi
Your action expresses your priorities.
Mahatma Gandhi
Religion is not like a house or a cloak which can be changed at will.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are sufficient resources on this planet to answer the needs of all, but not enough to satisfy everyone's greed.
Mahatma Gandhi
Tolstoy's so-called inconsistencies were a sign of his development and his passionate regard for truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.
Mahatma Gandhi
He who runs may see that opium and such other intoxicants and narcotics stupefy a man's soul and reduce him to a level lower than that of beasts.
Mahatma Gandhi
Appreciation of nonviolence means patient research and still more patient and difficult practice.
Mahatma Gandhi
A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.
Mahatma Gandhi
Love is a rare herb that makes a friend even of a sworn enemy and this herb grows out of nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
An India prostrate at the feet of Europe can give no hope to humanity.
Mahatma Gandhi
God has enabled man to distinguish between his sister, his mother, his daughter and his wife.
Mahatma Gandhi
How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we want Swaraj to be built on non-violence, we will have to give the villages their proper place.
Mahatma Gandhi
Cowardice is not a sign of belief in God.
Mahatma Gandhi
A genuine fast cleanses the body, mind and soul. It crucifies the flesh and to that extent sets the soul free.
Mahatma Gandhi
