More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Non-co-operation and civil disobedience in terms of Swaraj are not to be thought of without substantial constructive effort.
Mahatma Gandhi
The practice of truth and nonviolence melted religious differences, and we learnt to see beauty in each religion.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe that just as everyone inherits a particular form so does he inherit the particular characteristics and qualities of his progenitors, and to make this admission is to conserve one's energy.
Mahatma Gandhi
Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.
Mahatma Gandhi
Live simply so that others may simply live.
Mahatma Gandhi
If you think the world is all wrong, remember that it contains people like you.
Mahatma Gandhi
Without devotion, action and knowledge are cold and dry and many even become shackles.
Mahatma Gandhi
Sickness is the result not only of our acts, but out thoughts also.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have made the world's faith in God my own and as my faith is effaceable, I regard that faith as amounting to experience.
Mahatma Gandhi
Yajna is not yajna if one feels it to be burdensome or annoying.
Mahatma Gandhi
To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that one that must be loved is not a friend. There is not merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend.
Mahatma Gandhi
No one can ride on the back of a man unless it is bent.
Mahatma Gandhi
One who hooks his fortune to ahimsa, the law of love, daily lessens the circle of destruction and to that extent promotes life and love.
Mahatma Gandhi
I understood . . . that those who desired salvation should act like the trustee who, though having control over great possessions, regards not an iota of them as his own.
Mahatma Gandhi
A certain degree of physical harmony and comfort is necessary, but above a certain level it becomes a hindrance instead of a help. Therefore the ideal of creating an unlimited number of wants and satisfying them seems to be a delusion and a snare.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained.
Mahatma Gandhi
A full and candid admission of one's mistakes should make proof against its repetition.
Mahatma Gandhi
The inner voice is something which cannot be described in words. But sometimes we have a positive feeling that something in us prompts us to do a certain thing. The time when I learnt to recognise this voice was, I may say, the time when I started praying regularly.
Mahatma Gandhi
There's enough on this planet for everyone's needs but not for everyone's greed.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness.
Mahatma Gandhi
