More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Love is the humblest yet the most powerful force that the human being has.
Mahatma Gandhi
God will not be God, if He allowed Himself to be the object of proof by His creatures.
Mahatma Gandhi
Intellect takes us along in the battle of life to a certain limit, but at the crucial moment it fails us. Faith transcends reason. It is when the horizon is the darkest and human reason is beaten down to the ground that faith shines brightest and comes to our rescue.
Mahatma Gandhi
A clean confession combined with a promise never to commit the sin again, when offered before one who has the right to receive it, is the purest type of repentance.
Mahatma Gandhi
Its unadulterated belief in the oneness of God and a practical application of the truth of the brotherhood of man for those who are nominally within its fold are two distinctive contributions of Islam.
Mahatma Gandhi
Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.
Mahatma Gandhi
When a man wants to make up with his Maker, he does not consult a third party.
Mahatma Gandhi
It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.
Mahatma Gandhi
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence and cowardice go ill together.
Mahatma Gandhi
Untouchability is a many-headed monster and forms, some of them so subtle as not to be easily detected.
Mahatma Gandhi
I believe that the sum total of the energy of mankind is not to bring us down but to lift us up, and that is the result of the definite, if unconscious, working of the law of love. The fact that mankind persists shows that the cohesive force is greater than the disruptive force, centripetal force greater than centrifugal.
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
Truth is what the voice within tells you.
Mahatma Gandhi
The goal ever recedes from us. The greater the progress the greater the recognition of our unworthiness. Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full victory.
Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha is a purely spiritual weapon.
Mahatma Gandhi
Renunciation means absence of hankering after fruit.
Mahatma Gandhi
A satyagrahi has always his minimum and it is this minimum that is wanted in connection with this struggle.
Mahatma Gandhi
My optimism rests on my belief in the infinite possibilities of the individual to develop nonviolence. . . . In a gentle way you can shake the world.
Mahatma Gandhi
The inner voice is something which cannot be described in words. But sometimes we have a positive feeling that something in us prompts us to do a certain thing. The time when I learnt to recognise this voice was, I may say, the time when I started praying regularly.
Mahatma Gandhi
