More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The only force at the disposal of democracy is that of public opinion.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.
Mahatma Gandhi
Give the villagers village arithmetic, village geography, village history and the literary knowledge that they must use daily, i.e. reading and writing letters, etc.
Mahatma Gandhi
Indeed one's faith in one's plans and methods is truly tested when the horizon before one is the blackest.
Mahatma Gandhi
Any young man, who makes dowry a condition to marriage, discredits his education and his country and dishonours womanhood.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared.
Mahatma Gandhi
To change one's religion under the threat of force is no conversion but rather cowardice.
Mahatma Gandhi
Cow-slaughter can never be stopped by law.
Mahatma Gandhi
Imperfect men have no right to judge other imperfect men.

Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
The richest grace of ahimsa will descend easily upon the owner of hard discipline.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
My freedom from hatred - I would even claim for myself individually, my love - for those who consider themselves to be my enemies, does not make me blind to their faults.
Mahatma Gandhi
A person is bound to work in obedience to and in conformity to that person's own nature.
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
History supplied numerous instances to prove that brute force is as nothing before soul-force.
Mahatma Gandhi
God resides in every human form, indeed in every particle of His creations, in everything that is on his earth.
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
