More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
For the poor, the economic is spiritual.
Mahatma Gandhi
I realized the true function of a lawyer was to unite parties riven asunder. The lesson was so indelibly burnt into me that a large part of my time during the twenty years of my practice as a lawyer was occupied in bringing about private compromises of hundreds of cases. I lost nothing thereby -- not even money, certainly not my soul.
Mahatma Gandhi
Personally I crave not for 'independence', which I do not understand, but I long for freedom from the English yoke.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing in the Shastra, which is manifestly contrary to universal truths and morals, can stand.
Mahatma Gandhi
Healthy and nourishing food was the only alpha and omega of rural economy.
Mahatma Gandhi
Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make, not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large.
Mahatma Gandhi
An opponent is entitled to the same regard for his principles as we would expect others to have for ours. Non-violence demands that we should see every opportunity to win over opponents.
Mahatma Gandhi
Golden fetters are no less galling to a self-respecting man that iron ones the sting lies in the fetters, not in the metal.
Mahatma Gandhi
Strength of numbers is the delight of the timid. The Valiant in spirit glory in fighting alone.
Mahatma Gandhi
My love for nonviolence is superior to every other thing, mundane or super mundane.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let not the 12 million Negroes be ashamed of the fact that they are the grandchildren of slaves. There is dishonor in being slave-owners.
Mahatma Gandhi
By using violence to subjugate one another we are using violence against our own souls.
Mahatma Gandhi
Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent.
Mahatma Gandhi
The hardest heart and the grossest ignorance must disappear before the rising sun of suffering without anger and without malice.
Mahatma Gandhi
Yajna is not yajna if one feels it to be burdensome or annoying.
Mahatma Gandhi
The English peace is the peace of the grave.
Mahatma Gandhi
When you want to find Truth as God, the only inevitable means is love, that is nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Half-a-dozen or twenty cities of India alone working together cannot bring Swaraj.
Mahatma Gandhi
Love and exclusive possession can never go together.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe that the sum total of the energy of mankind is not to bring us down but to lift us up, and that is the result of the definite, if unconscious, working of the law of love. The fact that mankind persists shows that the cohesive force is greater than the disruptive force, centripetal force greater than centrifugal.
Mahatma Gandhi
