More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha is search for Truth, and God is Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
Mahatma Gandhi
The richest grace of ahimsa will descend easily upon the owner of hard discipline.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth is God, and Truth overrides all our plans. The whole Truth is only embodied within the heart of Great Power-Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let me say that God will send me the plan when He gives the word as He has done before now.

Mahatma Gandhi
In a nonviolent army, the general and the officers are elected, or are as if elected, when their authority is moral and rests solely on the willing obedience of the rank and file.
Mahatma Gandhi
How can I even secretly harbour the thought that my neighbour's faith is inferior to mine?
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe that cunning is not only morally wrong but also politically expedient, and have therefore always discountenanced its use even from the practical standpoint.
Mahatma Gandhi
I will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God's creation, woman, the object of our lust.
Mahatma Gandhi
Cow-slaughter can never be stopped by law.
Mahatma Gandhi
If the village worker is not a decent man or woman, conducting a decent home, he or she had better not aspire after the high privilege and honour of becoming a village worker.
Mahatma Gandhi
But success and failure are of no account. They are God's concern, not mine.
Mahatma Gandhi
