More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
That nonviolence which only an individual can use is not of much use in terms of society.
Mahatma Gandhi
Cowardice is not a sign of belief in God.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are times when you have to obey a call which is the highest of all, i.e. the voice of conscience even though such obedience may cost many a bitter tear, and even more, separation from friends, from family, from the state, to which you may belong, from all that you have held as dear as life itself. For this obedience is the law of our being.
Mahatma Gandhi
If India becomes the slave of the machine, then, I say, heaven save the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Newspapers today have almost replaced the Bible, the Koran, the Gita and other religious scriptures.
Mahatma Gandhi
Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state becomes lawless or corrupt.
Mahatma Gandhi
No reform is possible unless some of the educated and the rich voluntarily accept the status of the poor, travel third, refuse to enjoy the amenities denied to the poor and, instead of taking avoidable hardships, discourtesies and injustice as a matter of course, fight for their removal.
Mahatma Gandhi
The function of Nayee-Talim is not to teach an occupation, but through it to develop the whole man.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is the law of love that rules mankind. Had violence, i.e. hate, rules us we would have become extinct long ago. And yet, the tragedy of it is that the so-called civilised men and nations conduct themselves as if the basis of society was violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
... when all violence subsides in the human heart, the state which remains is love. It is not something we have to acquire it is always present, and needs only to be uncovered. This is our real nature, not merely to love one person here, another there, but to be love itself.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is no 'as far as possible' on the question of untouchability. If it is to go, it must go in its entirety from the temples as from everywhere else.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is knowledge that ultimately gives salvation.
Mahatma Gandhi
Be the compromise you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
Purity of personal life is the one indispensable condition for building up a sound education.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have but shadowed forth my intense longing to lose myself in the Eternal and become merely a lump of clay in the Potter's divine hands so that my service may become more certain because uninterrupted by the baser self in me.
Mahatma Gandhi
The saving of labour of the individual should be the object and honest humanitarian considerations, and not greed, the motive.
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
If everybody lives by the sweat of his brow, the earth will become a paradise.
Mahatma Gandhi
To call woman the weaker sex is a libel it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed. It has to be pursued even in face of violence raging around you.
Mahatma Gandhi
