More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Decency and tolerance, to be of any value, must be capable of withstanding the severest strain.
Mahatma Gandhi
A poet is one who can call forth the good latent in the human beast.
Mahatma Gandhi
The movement of nonviolent non-co-operation has nothing in common with the historical struggles for freedom in the West.
Mahatma Gandhi
We do not need to proselytise either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study.

Mahatma Gandhi
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we all discharge our duties, rights will not be far to seek. If leaving duties unperformed we run after rights, they will escape us like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Mahatma Gandhi
My Swaraj is to keep intact the genius of our civilization.
Mahatma Gandhi
To deprive a man of his natural liberty and to deny to him the ordinary amenities of life is worse then starving the body it is starvation of the soul, the dweller in the body.
Mahatma Gandhi
The true battlefield is within.
Mahatma Gandhi
My nonviolence is made of stern stuff. It is firmer than the firmest metal known to scientists.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is always enough for the needy, there is never enough for the greedy.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence being the mightiest force in the world and also the most elusive in its working, demands the greatest exercise of faith.
Mahatma Gandhi
Civilization is that mode of conduct which points out to man the path of duty.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have even seen the writings suggesting that I am playing a deep game, that I am using the present turmoil to foist my fads on India, and am making religious experiments at India's expense. I can only answer that Satyagraha is made of sterner stuff. There is nothing reserved and nothing secret in it.
Mahatma Gandhi
Painters and poets are obliged to exaggerate the proportions of their figures in order to give true perspective.
Mahatma Gandhi
It goes without saying that moderation and sobriety are of the very essence of vow-taking.
Mahatma Gandhi
