More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
No religion which is narrow and which cannot satisfy the test of reason, will survive the coming reconstruction of society in which the values will have changed and character, not possession of wealth, title or birth, will be the test of merit.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is better to resist oppression by violent means than to submit, but it is best of all to resist by nonviolent means.
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
Sympathy is what you have for someone after they die, pity you have for someone when they don't have a date to the biggest dance of the year. Empathy is what I do to you when you judge me. Envy is having pity on yourself. Can you discern the rest for yourself?
Mahatma Gandhi
To forgive and accept injustice is cowardice.
Mahatma Gandhi
So far as I can see the atomic bomb has deadened the finest feeling that has sustained mankind for ages.
Mahatma Gandhi
The highest religion has been defined by a negative word: ahimsa.

The truest test of civilization, culture and dignity is character and not clothing.
Mahatma Gandhi
As in laws or in war, the longest purse finally wins.
Mahatma Gandhi
My heart rebels against any foreigner imposing on my country the peace which is here called Pax-Britannica.
Mahatma Gandhi
A rose will smell as sweet by any other name, but it must be the rose of liberty that I want and not the artificial product.
Mahatma Gandhi
We shall dig our own grave if we do not purge ourselves of this curse of untouchability.
Mahatma Gandhi
We are all very imperfect and weak things, and if we are to destroy all whose ways we do not like, there will be not a man left alive.
Mahatma Gandhi
The more efficient a force is, the more silent and the more subtle it is.
Mahatma Gandhi
Learning takes us through many states of life, but it fails utterly in the hour of danger and temptation. Then faith alone saves.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hatred is not essential for nationalism. Race hatred will kill the real national spirit.
Mahatma Gandhi
One man cannot do right in one department of life whilst he is occupied in doing wrong in any other department. Life is one indivisible whole
Mahatma Gandhi
God has enabled man to distinguish between his sister, his mother, his daughter and his wife.
Mahatma Gandhi
The function of violence is to obtain reform by external means, the function of passive resistance, that is, soul-force, is to obtain it by growth from within, which, in its turn, is obtained by self-suffering, self-purification.
Mahatma Gandhi
A civilization based on nonviolence must be different from that organized for violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
