More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
True democracy is not inconsistent with a few persons representing the spirit, the hope and the aspirations of those whom they claim to represent.
Mahatma Gandhi
People cannot hurt you without your permission.
Mahatma Gandhi
My method is conversion, not coercion, it is self-suffering, not the suffering of the tyrant. I know that method to be infallible.
Mahatma Gandhi
My mother would tell me that the shortest cut to purification after the unholy touch was to cancel the touch by touching any Mussalman passing by.
Mahatma Gandhi
How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-cooperation is beyond the reach of the bayonet. It has found an abiding place in the Indian heart. Workers like me will go when the hour has struck, but non-cooperation will remain.
Mahatma Gandhi
To bear all kinds of tortures without a murmur of resentment is not possible for a human being without the strength that comes from God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Each one prays to God according to his own light.
Mahatma Gandhi
A man of truth must also be a man of care.
Mahatma Gandhi
A genuine fast cleanses the body, mind and soul. It crucifies the flesh and to that extent sets the soul free.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no 'way to peace,' there is only 'peace.
Mahatma Gandhi
However much I may sympathise with and admire worthy motives, I am an uncompromising opponent of violent methods even to serve the noblest of causes.
Mahatma Gandhi
At the centre of nonviolence is a force which is self-acting.
Mahatma Gandhi
To me God is truth and love, God is ethics and morality, God is fearlessness.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let us, by praying, purify ourselves and we shall not only remove untouchability but shall also hasten the advent of Swaraj.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing depends upon the death of an individual, be he ever so great, but much depends upon the freedom of India.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth is like a vast tree which yields more and more fruit the more you nurture it. The deeper the search in the mind of truth, the richer the discovery of the gems buried there.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence to be worth anything has to work in the face of hostile forces.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-co-operation intended to pave the way to real honourable and voluntary co-operation based on mutual respect and trust.
Mahatma Gandhi
My austerities, fasting and prayers are, I know, of no value if I rely upon them for reforming me. My penance is the prayer of a bleeding heart for forgiveness for sins unwittingly committed.
Mahatma Gandhi
