More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I do not believe that the spiritual law works on a field of its own. On the contrary, it expresses itself only through the ordinary activities of life. It thus affects the economic, the social and the political fields.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no god greater than truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
A genuine fast cleanses the body, mind and soul. It crucifies the flesh and to that extent sets the soul free.
Mahatma Gandhi
God always saves the world from the consequences of unintended errors of men who live in fear of Him.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whatever may be the pros and cons of going to the public theatre, it is a patent fact that it has undermined the morals and ruined the character of many a youth in his country.
Mahatma Gandhi
Charkha is an instrument of service.
Mahatma Gandhi
The strength of the soul can defy a whole world in arms against it.
Mahatma Gandhi
A heart-felt prayer is not recitation with the lips. It is a yearning from within which expresses itself in every word, every act, nay every thought of people.
Mahatma Gandhi
The way of mutual strife and exclusiveness is the only way to perdition and slavery.
Mahatma Gandhi
We don't use guns because we don't have guns
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
I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.
Mahatma Gandhi
I cannot imagine anything nobler or more national than that for, say, one hour in the day we should all do the labor the poor must do, and thus identify ourselves with them and through them, with all mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing in the Shastra, which is manifestly contrary to universal truths and morals, can stand.
Mahatma Gandhi
I claim that in losing the spinning wheel we lost our left lung.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nirvana is the utter extinction of all that is base in us, all that is vicious in us. Nirvana is not like the black, dead peace of the grave, but the living peace, the living happiness of a soul which is conscious of itself and conscious of having found its own abode in the heart of the Eternal.
Mahatma Gandhi
The earth, the air, the land and the water are not an inheritance from our fore fathers but on loan from our children. So we have to handover to them at least as it was handed over to us.
Mahatma Gandhi
Live every day like it is your last and learn everyday like you will live forever
Mahatma Gandhi
The fragrance of religious and spiritual life is much finer and subtler than that of the rose.
Mahatma Gandhi
