Though God may be Love, God is Truth above all.
Mahatma Gandhi

World has things which full fill man needs, but not greeds.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something. You disturb the air as you go forward, you disturb the dust, the ground. You trample upon things. When a whole society moves forward, this trampling is on a much bigger scale and each thing that you disturb, each vested interest which you want to remove, stands as an obstacle.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Civil disobedience and excitement and intoxication go ill together.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Seeming failure is not of the law of satyagrahabut of incompetence of the satyagrahi by whatever cause induced.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
My trust is solely in God. And I trust men only because I trust God. If I had no God to rely upon, I should be like Timon, a hater of my species.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The sum of all that lives is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Yajna having come to us with our birth, we are debtors all our lives, and thus for ever bound to serve the universe.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The unlimited capacity of the plant world to sustain man at his highest is a region as yet unexplored by modern science.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I see a clear breach of ahimsa even in driving away monkeys the breach would be proportionately greater if they have to be killed.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
There can be no rule of God in the present state of iniquitous inequalities in which a few roll in riches and the masses do not get enough to eat.
