More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Government control gives rise to fraud, suppression of Truth, intensification of the black market and artificial scarcity. Above all, it unmans the people and deprives them of initiative, it undoes the teaching of self-help.
Mahatma Gandhi
A true man of piety will consider himself a sinner and, therefore, untouchable.
Mahatma Gandhi
I shall, of course, die with nonviolence on my lips.
Mahatma Gandhi
Without devotion, action and knowledge are cold and dry and many even become shackles.
Mahatma Gandhi
Peace is unattained by part performance of conditions, even as a chemical combination is impossible without complete fulfillment of the conditions of attainment thereof.
Mahatma Gandhi
Truth and nonviolence are as old as the hills.
Mahatma Gandhi
Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.
Mahatma Gandhi
A truly nonviolent man would never live to tell the tale of atrocities. He would have laid down his life on the spot in non-violent resistance.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.
Mahatma Gandhi
My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.
Mahatma Gandhi
Heroes are made in the hour of defeat. Success is, therefore, well described as a series of glorious defeats.
Mahatma Gandhi
The only tyrant I accept in this world is the 'still small voice' within me. And even though I have to face the prospect of being a minority of one, I humbly believe I have the courage to be in such a hopeless minority.
Mahatma Gandhi
Exploitation and domination of one nation over another can have no place in a world striving to put an end to all war.
Mahatma Gandhi
Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is better to be charged with cowardice and weakness than to be guilty of denial of our oath and sin against God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Celibacy is a great help, inasmuch as it enables one to lead a life of full surrender to God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
I came alone in this world, I have walked alone in the valley of the shadow of death, and I shall quit alone when the time comes.
Mahatma Gandhi
A straight fight in an equal battle takes some bravery, but braver is he who, knowing that he would have to sacrifice ninety-five as against five of the enemy, faces death.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.
Mahatma Gandhi
