Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.
Mahatma Gandhi

There is no playing with truth in the Charkha programme, for satyagraha is not predominantly civil disobedience but a quiet and irresistible pursuit of Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Let me say that God will send me the plan when He gives the word as He has done before now.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

It is the law of love that rules mankind. Had violence, i.e. hate, rules us we would have become extinct long ago. And yet, the tragedy of it is that the so-called civilised men and nations conduct themselves as if the basis of society was violence.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Image
A national spirit is necessary for national existence. A flag is a material aid to the development of such a spirit.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
If you will express the requisite purity of character in action, you cannot do it better than through the spinning wheel.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Cow preservation is an article of faith in Hinduism.
Mahatma Gandhi

Khadi will cease to have any value in my eyes if it does not usefully employ the millions.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The Charkha is the symbol of sacrifice, and sacrifice is essential for the establishment of the image of the deity.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall... think of it, always.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Yajna having come to us with our birth, we are debtors all our lives, and thus for ever bound to serve the universe.
