More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi

Image
Hinduism is a living organism. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. Knowledge is limitless and so also the application of truth. Everyday we add to our knowledge of the power of Atman (soul) and we shall keep on doing so.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Nonviolence being the mightiest force in the world and also the most elusive in its working, demands the greatest exercise of faith.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Love is a rare herb that makes a friend even of a sworn enemy and this herb grows out of nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
True ahimsa should mean a complete freedom from ill-will and anger and hate and an overflowing love for all.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Truth is God, and Truth overrides all our plans. The whole Truth is only embodied within the heart of Great Power-Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Experience convinces me that permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth & violence. Even if my belief is a fond delusion, it will be admitted that it is a fascinating delusion.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
My freedom from hatred - I would even claim for myself individually, my love - for those who consider themselves to be my enemies, does not make me blind to their faults.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
One who hooks his fortune to ahimsa, the law of love, daily lessens the circle of destruction and to that extent promotes life and love.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
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
Image
The test of friendship is assistance in adversity, and that too, unconditional assistance, Co-operation which needs consideration is as a commercial contract and not friendship. Conditional co-operation is like adulterated cement which does not bind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Violence will prevail over violence, only when someone can prove to me that darkness can be dispelled by darkness
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
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
Image
Nothing can be more hurtful to an honourable man than that he should be accused of bad faith.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
God the Compassionate and the Merciful, Tolerance incarnate, allows Mammon to have his nine days' wonder.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The spinning wheel is not meant to oust a single man or woman from his or her occupation.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Men in prison are civilly dead and have no claim to any say in policy.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Forgive and forget, but never forget to forgive. You may find a happier heart is the key to a happier life.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
My respectful study of other religions has not abated my reverence for or my faith in the Hindu scriptures.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Violence is bound sooner or later to exhaust itself but peace cannot issue out of such exhaustion.
Mahatma Gandhi

Human society is a ceaseless growth, and unfoldment in terms of spirituality.
