Waiting on God means increasing purity.

Mahatma Gandhi
Every Hindu boy and girl should possess sound Samskrit learning.

Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacity...If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior...If non-violence is the law of our being, the future is with women.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are sufficient resources on this planet to answer the needs of all, but not enough to satisfy everyone's greed.
Mahatma Gandhi
I am a poor mendicant. My earthly possessions consist of six spinning wheels, prison dishes, a can of goat's milk, six homespun loincloths and towels and my reputation, which cannot be worth much.
Mahatma Gandhi
Jail-going is only the beginning, not the end of satyagraha. The acme of satyagraha for us would be to lay down our lives for the defence of India's just cause.
Mahatma Gandhi
Renunciation is everyone's prerogative.
Mahatma Gandhi
Virtue lies in being absorbed in one's prayers in the presence of din and noise.
Mahatma Gandhi
