More quotes by 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
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
Mahatma Gandhi
When a slave begins to take pride in his fetters and hugs them like precious ornaments, the triumph of the slave-owner is complete.
Mahatma Gandhi
When freedom is in jeopardy, non-co-operation may be a duty and prison may be a palace.
Mahatma Gandhi
The method of satyagraha requires that the satyagrahi should never lose hope, so long as there is the slightest ground left for it.
Mahatma Gandhi
What may appear as truth to one person will often appear as untruth to another person. But that need not worry the seeker. When there is honest effort, it will be realised that what appears to be different truths are like apparently different countless leaves of the same tree.
Mahatma Gandhi
To me the Mahabharata is a profoundly religious book, largely allegorical, in a way meant to be a historical record.
Mahatma Gandhi
Man must choose either of the two courses, the upward or the downward but as he has the brute in him, he will more easily choose the downward course than the upward, especially when the downward course is presented to him in a beautiful garb. Man easily capitulates when sin is presented in the garb of virtue.
Mahatma Gandhi
The nation cannot be kept on the nonviolent path by violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Woman in the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacities. She has the right to participate in the minutest details in the activities of man, and she has equal right to liberty of freedom and liberty with him.
Mahatma Gandhi
A samagra gramsevak must know everybody living in the village and render them such service as he possibly can.
Mahatma Gandhi
Is the God of the Mahometan different from the God of the Hindu? Religions are different roads converging to the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads so long as we reach the same goal? Wherein is the cause for quarreling?
Mahatma Gandhi
The incident deepened my feeling for the Indian settlers. I discussed with them the advisability of making a test case, if it were found necessary to do so, after having seen the British Agent in the matter of these regulations.
Mahatma Gandhi
Freedom and slavery are mental states.
Mahatma Gandhi
You can return blow for blow if you are not brave enough to follow the path of nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-cooperation is beyond the reach of the bayonet. It has found an abiding place in the Indian heart. Workers like me will go when the hour has struck, but non-cooperation will remain.
Mahatma Gandhi
Just as the body cannot exist without blood, so the soul needs the matchless and pure strength of faith.
Mahatma Gandhi
As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it.
Mahatma Gandhi
If India adopted the doctrine of love as an active part of her religion and introduced it in her politics. Swaraj would descend upon India from heaven. But I am painfully aware that that event is far off as yet.
Mahatma Gandhi
Human language can but imperfectly describe God's ways. I am sensible of the fact that they are indescribable and inscrutable. But if mortal man will dare to describe them, he has no better medium than his own inarticulate speech.
Mahatma Gandhi
