Active nonviolence of the brave puts to flight thieves, dacoits, murderers, and prepares an army of volunteers ready to sacrifice themselves in quelling riots, in extinguishing fires and feuds, and so on.

More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Do not flatter yourselves with the belief that a mere recital of that celebrated verse in St. John makes a man a Christian.
Mahatma Gandhi
Without the study of Samskrit one cannot become a true Indian and a true learned man.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whatever strength the masses have is due entirely to ahimsa, however imperfect or defective its practice might have been.
Mahatma Gandhi
You assist an administration most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil administration never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good man will therefore resist an evil system or administration with his whole soul.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
Mahatma Gandhi
Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make, not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have called spinning the yajna of this age of India.
Mahatma Gandhi
The future of India lies in its villages
Mahatma Gandhi
The end is inherent in the means.
Mahatma Gandhi
How can I make difference so that I may bring peace to this world that I love and cherish so much? A name flickers instantly in my mind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Ahimsa is an attribute of the brave. Cowardice and ahimsa don't go together any more that water and fire.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is no easy task to do away with a thing that is established. We, therefore, say that the non-beginning of a thing is supreme wisdom.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is a universal law acting under all circumstances.
Mahatma Gandhi
If all were nonviolent, there would be no anarchy and there would be no question of anybody being armed for meeting aggression from without.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth, which is permanent, eludes the historian of events. Truth transcends history.
Mahatma Gandhi
A satyagrahi has always his minimum and it is this minimum that is wanted in connection with this struggle.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are times when you have to obey a call which is the highest of all, i.e. the voice of conscience even though such obedience may cost many a bitter tear, and even more, separation from friends, from family, from the state, to which you may belong, from all that you have held as dear as life itself. For this obedience is the law of our being.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is beneath human dignity to lose one's individuality and become a mere cog in the machine.
Mahatma Gandhi
Sympathy is what you have for someone after they die, pity you have for someone when they don't have a date to the biggest dance of the year. Empathy is what I do to you when you judge me. Envy is having pity on yourself. Can you discern the rest for yourself?
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no yajna (sacrifice) greater than spinning calculated to bring peace to the troubled spirit, to soothe the distracted student's mind, to spiritualize his life.
Mahatma Gandhi
