More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
It is possible to reason out the existence of God to a limited extent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha does not depend on outside help, it derives all its strength from within.
Mahatma Gandhi
Government control gives rise to fraud, suppression of Truth, intensification of the black market and artificial scarcity. Above all, it unmans the people and deprives them of initiative, it undoes the teaching of self-help.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have even seen the writings suggesting that I am playing a deep game, that I am using the present turmoil to foist my fads on India, and am making religious experiments at India's expense. I can only answer that Satyagraha is made of sterner stuff. There is nothing reserved and nothing secret in it.
Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha is a relentless search for truth and a determination to search truth.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
I believe in the essential unity of all that lives. Therefore, I believe that if one person gains spiritually, the whole world gains, and that if one person falls, the whole world falls to that extent.
Mahatma Gandhi
Where there are millions upon millions of units of idle labour, it is no use thinking of labour-saving devices.
Mahatma Gandhi
No one should dogmatize about the capacity of human nature for degradation or exaltation.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness.

Your future depends on what you do today.
Mahatma Gandhi
Real power does not consist in the ability to inflict capital punishment upon the subjects, but in the will and the ability to protect the subjects against the world.

Without satyagraha carried out in the proper spirit, there is no victory, no Swaraj.
Mahatma Gandhi
