More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I felt that God could be realized only through service. And service for me was the service of India, because it came to me without my seeking, because I had an aptitude for it.
Mahatma Gandhi
I claim to be no more than an average man with below average capabilities.
Mahatma Gandhi
I isolate this non-co-operation from Sinn Feinism, for it is so conceived as to be incapable of being offered side by side with violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
I think it would be an excellent idea.
Mahatma Gandhi
The function of Nayee-Talim is not to teach an occupation, but through it to develop the whole man.
Mahatma Gandhi
God is the shield of the nonviolent.
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
A truly nonviolent man would never live to tell the tale of atrocities. He would have laid down his life on the spot in non-violent resistance.
Mahatma Gandhi
What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea.
Mahatma Gandhi
Religion taught us to return good for evil.
Mahatma Gandhi
The fullest application of ahimsa does make life impossible.
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
At the centre of nonviolence is a force which is self-acting.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whenever I see an erring man, I say to myself I have also erred when I see a lustful man I say to myself, so was I once and in this way I feel kinship with everyone in the world and feel that I cannot be happy without the humblest of us being happy.
Mahatma Gandhi
Celibacy is a great help, inasmuch as it enables one to lead a life of full surrender to God.
Mahatma Gandhi
But success and failure are of no account. They are God's concern, not mine.
Mahatma Gandhi
God will rule the lives of all those who will surrender themselves without reservation to Him.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is easier to bridge the oceans that lie between continents than it is to bridge the gap between individuals or the peoples.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are times when you have to obey a call which is the highest of all, i.e. the voice of conscience even though such obedience may cost many a bitter tear, and even more, separation from friends, from family, from the state, to which you may belong, from all that you have held as dear as life itself. For this obedience is the law of our being.
Mahatma Gandhi
The path of bhakti, karma and love as expounded in the Gita leaves no room for the despising of man by man.
Mahatma Gandhi
