More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence of the strong cannot be a mere policy. It must be a creed, or a passion, if 'creed' is objected to.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him.
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
The willing sacrifice of the innocents is the most powerful retort to insolent tyranny that has yet to be conceived by God or man.
Mahatma Gandhi
You never know where your actions will lead to. But if you don't do anything they will lead you nowhere.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

Mahatma Gandhi
The fragrance of nonviolence was never sweeter than it was today amidst the stink of violence of the most cowardly type that was being displayed in the cities of India.
Mahatma Gandhi
You assist an administration most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil administration never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good man will therefore resist an evil system or administration with his whole soul.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-co-operation in an angry atmosphere is an impossibility.
Mahatma Gandhi
It has often occurred to me that a seeker after truth has to be silent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Islam was nothing if it did not spell complete democracy.
Mahatma Gandhi
I claim to have been a lifelong and wholly disinterested friend of the British people.
Mahatma Gandhi
I understand democracy as something that gives the weak the same chance as the strong.
Mahatma Gandhi
God resides in every human form, indeed in every particle of His creations, in everything that is on his earth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Patience means self-suffering.
Mahatma Gandhi
