More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The purer I try to become, the nearer I feel to be to God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Spiritually, compulsory disarmament has made us unmanly, and the presence of an alien army of occupation, employed with deadly effect to crush in us the spirit of resistance, has made us think we cannot look after ourselves or put up a defense against foreign aggression, or even defend our homes and families.
Mahatma Gandhi
The whole world is in the throes of a new birth. Anything done for a temporary gain would be tantamount to an abortion.
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
Crime and vice generally require darkness for prowling. They disappear when light plays upon them.
Mahatma Gandhi
Everyone has faith in God though everyone does not know it. For everyone has faith in himself and that multiplied to the nth degree is God. The sum total of all that lives is God. We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean.
Mahatma Gandhi
To forgive and accept injustice is cowardice.
Mahatma Gandhi
You can return blow for blow if you are not brave enough to follow the path of nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth is God, and Truth overrides all our plans. The whole Truth is only embodied within the heart of Great Power-Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let no one try to justify the glaring difference between the classes and the masses, the prince and the pauper, by saying that the former need more.
Mahatma Gandhi
A nation that is capable of limitless sacrifice is capable of rising to limitless heights. The purer the sacrifice the quicker the progress.
Mahatma Gandhi
The idol in the temple is not God. But since God resides in every atom, He resides in that idol too.
Mahatma Gandhi
Each one prays to God according to his own light.
Mahatma Gandhi
There would be nothing to frighten you if you refused to be afraid.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man the law-giver will have to pay a dreadful penalty for the degradation he has imposed upon the so called weaker sex.
Mahatma Gandhi
It was the cowards who died many times before their death.
Mahatma Gandhi
My conception of dominion status implies present ability to severe the British connection if I wish to.
Mahatma Gandhi
If our ahimsa is not of the brave but of the weak, and if it will bend the knee before himsa, Gandhism deserves to be destroyed.
Mahatma Gandhi
I cannot think of permanent enmity between man and man, and believing as I do in the theory of reincarnation, I live in the hope that if not in this birth, in some other birth I shall be able to hug all of humanity in friendly embrace.
Mahatma Gandhi
A man who would interpret the scriptures must have the spiritual discipline.
Mahatma Gandhi
