More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I have worshipped woman as the living embodiment of the spirit of service and sacrifice.
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
Your future depends on what you do today.
Mahatma Gandhi
The story of the creation and similar things in it did not impress me very much, but on the contrary made me incline somewhat towards atheism.
Mahatma Gandhi
If you do what you enjoy doing you'll never have to work hard.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-co-operation means nothing less than training in self-sacrifice.
Mahatma Gandhi
All your scholarship, all your study of Shakespeare and Wordsworth would be in vain, if at the same time you do not build your character, and attain mastery over your thoughts and actions.
Mahatma Gandhi
Active nonviolence of the brave puts to flight thieves, dacoits, murderers, and prepares an army of volunteers ready to sacrifice themselves in quelling riots, in extinguishing fires and feuds, and so on.
Mahatma Gandhi
I do not want my house to be rounded by walls and my windows to be closed to other cultures. I wish to become familiar with the culture of lands as much as possible but I will not permit them to affect me or shake me from my own status.
Mahatma Gandhi
I am but a poor struggling soul yearning to be wholly good, wholly truthful and wholly non-violent in thought, word and deed, but ever failing to reach the ideal which I know to be true. It is a painful climb, but each step upwards makes me feel stronger and fit for the next.
Mahatma Gandhi
Ethically they had arrived at the conclusion that man's supremacy over lower animals meant not that the former should prey upon the latter, but that the higher should protect the lower, and that there should be mutual aid between the two as between man and man. They had also brought out the truth that man eats not for enjoyment but to live.
Mahatma Gandhi
Even a believer in nonviolence has to say between two combatants which is less bad or whose cause is just.
Mahatma Gandhi
I claim that in losing the spinning wheel we lost our left lung. We are, therefore, suffering from galloping consumption. The restoration of the wheel arrests the progress of the fell disease.
Mahatma Gandhi
Religion all the world over offeres God as the solace and comfort for all in agony.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we all discharge our duties, rights will not be far to seek.
Mahatma Gandhi
If she [woman] is weak in striking, she is strong in suffering.
Mahatma Gandhi
Englishmen must learn to be Brahmins, not banias.
Mahatma Gandhi
Woman in the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacities. She has the right to participate in the minutest details in the activities of man, and she has equal right to liberty of freedom and liberty with him.
Mahatma Gandhi
A full and candid admission of one's mistakes should make proof against its repetition.
Mahatma Gandhi
When a man wants to make up with his Maker, he does not consult a third party.
Mahatma Gandhi
