More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The practice of truth and nonviolence melted religious differences, and we learnt to see beauty in each religion.
Mahatma Gandhi
Religion is a thing to be lived. It is not merely sophistry.
Mahatma Gandhi
No nation keeps another in subjection without herself turning into a subject nation.
Mahatma Gandhi
If I seem to take part in politics, it is only because politics encircles us today like the coil of a snake from which one cannot get out, no matter how much one tries. I wish therefore to wrestle with the snake.
Mahatma Gandhi
To benefit by others' killing and to delude oneself into the belief that one is being very religions and nonviolent is sheer self-deception.
Mahatma Gandhi
Untouchability is an error of long standing.
Mahatma Gandhi
Ahimsa is no mere theory with me, but it is a fact of life based on extensive experience.
Mahatma Gandhi
The seeker after truth should be humbler than the dust. The world crushes the dust under its feet, but the seeker after truth should so humble himself that even the dust could crush him. Only then, and not till then, will he have a glimpse of truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
You don't know who is important to you until you actually lose them.
Mahatma Gandhi
A certain degree of physical harmony and comfort is necessary, but above a certain level it becomes a hindrance instead of a help. Therefore the ideal of creating an unlimited number of wants and satisfying them seems to be a delusion and a snare.
Mahatma Gandhi
To my mind, Swaraj based on nonviolence is the fulfillment of the constructive programme.
Mahatma Gandhi
If as a member of a slave nation I could deliver the suppressed classes from their slavery without freeing myself from my own, I would do so today. But it is an impossible task.
Mahatma Gandhi
A true man of piety will consider himself a sinner and, therefore, untouchable.
Mahatma Gandhi
Exploitation and domination of one nation over another can have no place in a world striving to put an end to all war.
Mahatma Gandhi
I shall content myself with merely declaring my firm conviction that, for the seeker who would live in fear of God and who would see Him face to face, restraint in diet both as to quantity and quality is as essential as restraint in thought and speech.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence which to me is the glory of Hinduism, has been sought to be explained away by our people as being meant for the sanyasis only.
Mahatma Gandhi
You cannot neglect the nearer duty for the sake of a remote.
Mahatma Gandhi
Swaraj means even under dominion status a capacity to declare independence at will.
Mahatma Gandhi
A fear-stricken person can never know God, and one who knows God will never fear a mortal man.
Mahatma Gandhi
Work without faith is like an attempt to reach the bottom of a bottomless pit.
Mahatma Gandhi
