More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Hinduism has made marvelous discoveries in things of religion, of the spirit, of the soul. We have no eye for these great and fine discoveries. We are dazzled by the material progress that Western science has made. Ancient India has survived because Hinduism was not developed along material but spiritual lines.
Mahatma Gandhi
In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.
Mahatma Gandhi
The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.
Mahatma Gandhi
True ahimsa should mean a complete freedom from ill-will and anger and hate and an overflowing love for all.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Bhagavad-Gita calls on humanity to dedicate body, mind and soul to pure duty and not to become mental voluptuaries at the mercy of random desires and undisciplined impulses.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whatever one does cheerfully is good for health.
Mahatma Gandhi
The test of friendship is assistance in adversity, and that, too, unconditional assistance.
Mahatma Gandhi
God will not be God, if He allowed Himself to be the object of proof by His creatures.
Mahatma Gandhi
I call myself a labourer because I take pride in calling myself a spinner, weaver, farmer and scavenger.
Mahatma Gandhi
The good man is the friend of all living things.
Mahatma Gandhi
As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance, cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is for you and me to show that no vice is inherent in man.
Mahatma Gandhi
I considered becoming a Christian... until I met one.
Mahatma Gandhi
If it had not been for the Christians that I have known I might have been a Christian.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man the law-giver will have to pay a dreadful penalty for the degradation he has imposed upon the so called weaker sex.
Mahatma Gandhi
Every calamity should lead to a thorough cleansing of individual as well as social life.
Mahatma Gandhi
If all were nonviolent, there would be no anarchy and there would be no question of anybody being armed for meeting aggression from without.
Mahatma Gandhi
Real suffering bravely borne, melts even a heart of stone. Such is the potency of suffering. And there lies the key to Satyagraha.
Mahatma Gandhi
If our ahimsa is not of the brave but of the weak, and if it will bend the knee before himsa, Gandhism deserves to be destroyed.
Mahatma Gandhi
Temples are like spiritual hospitals, and the sinful, who are spiritually diseased, have the first right to be ministered to by them.
Mahatma Gandhi
