Image
A man like me cannot but believe that this earthquake is a divine chastisement sent by God for our sins.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
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
Image
There is force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Selfishness is blind.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
If you approached people with trust and affection you would have ten-fold trust and thousand-fold.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Purest religion is highest expediency. Many things are lawful but they are not all expedient.
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
True paurusha, true bravery, consists in driving out the brute in us.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Even as satyagraha is a weapon unique of its kind and not one of the ordinary weapons used by people, so is Khadi, a unique article of commerce which will not, cannot, succeed on terms common to other articles.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
It was manly and dignified to rely upon God for the dissolution of all troubles. He was the only infallible help, guide and friend.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Don't let anybody walk through your mind with dirty feet.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
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
Image
The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Satyagraha is a relentless search for truth and a determination to search truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
You may have occasion to possess or use material things, but the secret of life lies in never missing them.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Reason has to be strengthened by suffering, and suffering opens the eyes of understanding.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Happiness eludes us if we run after it.
