More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
You can't shake hands with a closed fist.
Mahatma Gandhi
... when all violence subsides in the human heart, the state which remains is love. It is not something we have to acquire it is always present, and needs only to be uncovered. This is our real nature, not merely to love one person here, another there, but to be love itself.
Mahatma Gandhi
The real seat of taste was not the tongue but the mind
Mahatma Gandhi
Violence is bound sooner or later to exhaust itself but peace cannot issue out of such exhaustion.
Mahatma Gandhi
You cannot cure a lesser evil by a greater evil.
Mahatma Gandhi
India will not be a helpless partner in her own exploitation and foreign domination.
Mahatma Gandhi
My life is an indivisible whole, and all my attitudes run into one another and they all have their rise in my insatiable love for mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she does not realize what a tremendous advantage she has over man. As Tolstoy used to say, they are laboring under the hypnotic influence of man. If they would realize the strength of non-violence they would not consent to be called the weaker sex.
Mahatma Gandhi
Education should be so revolutionized as to answer the wants of the poorest villager, instead of answering those of an imperial exploiter.
Mahatma Gandhi
Though God may be Love, God is Truth above all.
Mahatma Gandhi
Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi
If I could persuade myself that I could find Him in a Himalayan cave I would proceed there immediately.
Mahatma Gandhi
Love is needed to strengthen the weak love becomes tyrannical when it exacts obedience from an unbeliever.
Mahatma Gandhi
In any case, the fear of subservience is quite imaginary.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we want to cultivate a true spirit of democracy we cannot afford to be intolerant. Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause.
Mahatma Gandhi
The greatness of a person lies in his heart, not in his head that is intellect.
Mahatma Gandhi
If co-operation is a duty, I hold that non-co-operation also under certain conditions is equally a duty.
Mahatma Gandhi
Civilization is that mode of conduct which points out to man the path of duty.
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
It is no non-violence if we merely love those that love us. It is non-violence only when we love those that hate us.
Mahatma Gandhi
