Image
But the fact that I had learnt to be tolerant to other religions did not mean that I had any living faith in God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Free, open love I have looked upon as dog's love. Secret love is, besides, cowardly.
Mahatma Gandhi

For a non-violent person the whole world is one family. He will thus fear none, nor will others fear him.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Possession of arms implies an element of fear, if not of cowardice.
Mahatma Gandhi

There is no 'as far as possible' on the question of untouchability. If it is to go, it must go in its entirety from the temples as from everywhere else.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Music has given me peace. I can remember occasions when music instantly tranquillized my mind, when I was greatly agitated over something. Music has helped me to overcome anger.
Mahatma Gandhi

Never own defeat in a sacred cause and make up your minds henceforth that you will be pure and that you will find a response from God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless a creature the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of humankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Real power does not consist in the ability to inflict capital punishment upon the subjects, but in the will and the ability to protect the subjects against the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
God Himself has reserved no right of revision of His own laws nor is there any need for Him for any such revision.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
A spirit is not necessarily purer, because it is disembodied.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Bravery on the battlefield is impossible for us. Bravery of the soul still remains open to us.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
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
Image
My fight against untouchability is a fight against the impure in humanity.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Let India become alive by self-purification, that is self-restraint and self-denial, and she will be a boon to herself and mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
That which looks for mercy from an opponent is not non-violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
When a man gives way to anger, he only harms himself.
Mahatma Gandhi
