More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Jail-going is only the beginning, not the end of satyagraha. The acme of satyagraha for us would be to lay down our lives for the defence of India's just cause.
Mahatma Gandhi
When nonviolence is accepted as the law of life, it must pervade the whole being and not be applied to isolated acts.
Mahatma Gandhi
I considered becoming a Christian... until I met one.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is the law of love that rules mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is weakness which breeds fear, and fear breeds distrust.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is not a weapon of the weak. It is a weapon of the strongest and bravest.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing is of a permanent nature.
Mahatma Gandhi
Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.
Mahatma Gandhi
Enter with me into the sufferings, not only of the people of India but of the whole world. Nonviolence is a more active and real fight against wickedness than retaliation whose very nature is to increase wickedness. It is not a weapon of the weak. It is a weapon of the strongest and bravest.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization.
Mahatma Gandhi
I do not want my house to be rounded by walls and my windows to be closed to other cultures. I wish to become familiar with the culture of lands as much as possible but I will not permit them to affect me or shake me from my own status.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let India become alive by self-purification, that is self-restraint and self-denial, and she will be a boon to herself and mankind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Who can deny that much that passes for science and art today destroys the soul instead of uplifting it and instead of evoking the best in us, panders to our basest passions?
Mahatma Gandhi
No one chains a slave without chaining himself.
Mahatma Gandhi
Even as a tree has a single trunk, but many branches and leaves, there is one religion but any number of faiths.
Mahatma Gandhi
No religion which is narrow and which cannot satisfy the test of reason, will survive the coming reconstruction of society in which the values will have changed and character, not possession of wealth, title or birth, will be the test of merit.
Mahatma Gandhi
Civil disobedience is a preparation for mute suffering.
Mahatma Gandhi
If India won her freedom through truth and non-violence, India would not only point the way to all the exploited Asiatic nations, she would become a torch-bearer for the Negro races.
Mahatma Gandhi
The elephant needs a thousand times more food than the ant but that is not an indication of inequality.
Mahatma Gandhi
