More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith.
Mahatma Gandhi
Faith is a kind of sixth sense which works in cases which are without the purview of reason.
Mahatma Gandhi
The only way love punishes in by suffering.
Mahatma Gandhi
If you would swim on the bosom of the ocean of Truth, you must reduce yourself to a zero.
Mahatma Gandhi
I will not have the power of nonviolence to be underestimated in order to cover my limitations or weaknesses.
Mahatma Gandhi
The test of friendship is assistance in adversity, and that too, unconditional assistance, Co-operation which needs consideration is as a commercial contract and not friendship. Conditional co-operation is like adulterated cement which does not bind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Once Jesus had blazed the trail, his twelve disciples could carry on his mission without his presence.
Mahatma Gandhi
The rich cannot accumulate wealth without the co-operation of the poor in society.
Mahatma Gandhi
Public opinion alone can keep a society pure and healthy.
Mahatma Gandhi
Anything that exists is possible.
Mahatma Gandhi
God will cease to be God, if he brought into being a single person with the hall-mark of inferiority.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is the reformer who is anxious for the reform, and not society, from which he should expect nothing better than opposition, abhorrence and even mortal persecution.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no 'as far as possible' on the question of untouchability. If it is to go, it must go in its entirety from the temples as from everywhere else.
Mahatma Gandhi
The earth, the air, the land and the water are not an inheritance from our fore fathers but on loan from our children. So we have to handover to them at least as it was handed over to us.
Mahatma Gandhi
The wise are unaffected either by death or life. These are but faces of the same coin.
Mahatma Gandhi
While everything around me is ever changing, ever dying, there is underlying that change a living power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves and recreates.... For I can see in the midst of death, life persists, in the midst of untruth, truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.
Mahatma Gandhi
We believe as much in the purity of race as we think they do... We believe also that the white race of South Africa should be the predominating race.
Mahatma Gandhi
The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.
Mahatma Gandhi
Education without courage is like a wax statue - beautiful to look at but bound to melt at the first touch of a hot stuff.
Mahatma Gandhi
Cow protection to me is one of the most wonderful phenomena in the human evolution.
Mahatma Gandhi
