More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The moral to be legitimately drawn from the supreme tragedy of the bomb is that it will not be destroyed by counter bombs even as violence cannot be by counter-violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Violence can only be effectively met by nonviolence. This is an old established truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.
Mahatma Gandhi
India's freedom will not be won by violence but only by the purest suffering without retaliation.
Mahatma Gandhi
I do not consider Hitler to be as bad as he is depicted. He is showing an ability which is amazing and he seems to be gaining his victories without much bloodshed.
Mahatma Gandhi
The fullest application of ahimsa does make life impossible.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let the Gita be to you a mine of diamonds, as it has been to me let it be your constant guide and friend on life's way.
Mahatma Gandhi
A man who broods on evil is as bad a man who does evil, if he is no worse.
Mahatma Gandhi
If I could wake all of the women of Asia, India could be won in a day.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hinduism is like the Ganga, pure and unsullied at its source but taking in its course the impurities in the way. Even like the Ganga it is beneficent in its total effect. It takes a provincial form in every province, but the inner substance is retained everywhere.
Mahatma Gandhi
God accepts the sacrifice of the pure in heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs... Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home
Mahatma Gandhi
People say true friends must always hold hands, but true friends don't need to hold hands because they know the other hand will always be there.
Mahatma Gandhi
The purpose of life is undoubtedly to know oneself. We cannot do it unless we learn to identify ourselves with all that lives. The sum-total of that life is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
The dignity of man requires obedience to a higher law, to the strength of the spirit.
Mahatma Gandhi
Men are good. But they are poor victims making themselves miserable under the false belief that they are doing good.
Mahatma Gandhi
I came alone in this world, I have walked alone in the valley of the shadow of death, and I shall quit alone when the time comes.
Mahatma Gandhi
Real non-co-operation is non-co-operation with evil and not with the evil-doer.
Mahatma Gandhi
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.
Mahatma Gandhi
