It is a mark of wisdom not to kick away the very step from which we have risen higher. The removal of one step from a staircase brings down the whole of it.

More quotes by 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
No police officer could compel a satyagrahi to give evidence against a person who has confessed to him. A satyagrahi would never be guilty of a betrayal of trust.
Mahatma Gandhi
What may appear as truth to one person will often appear as untruth to another person. But that need not worry the seeker. When there is honest effort, it will be realised that what appears to be different truths are like apparently different countless leaves of the same tree.
Mahatma Gandhi
Ahimsa magnifies one's own defects, and minimizes those of the opponent. It regards the mole in one's own eye as a beam and the beam in the opponent's eye as a mole.
Mahatma Gandhi
They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me. Then they will have my dead body, but not my obedience.
Mahatma Gandhi
Civil disobedience does not admit of any violence or countenancing of violence directly or indirectly.
Mahatma Gandhi
The platform of services is as big as the world. It is never overcrowded.
Mahatma Gandhi
The secret of a happy life lies in renunciation. Renunciation is life.
Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence means an ocean of compassion. It means shedding from us every trace of ill will for others. It does not mean abjectness or timidity, or fleeing in fear. It means, on the contrary, firmness of mind and courage, a resolute spirit.
Mahatma Gandhi
Our nonviolence vis-а-vis the British Government has been the nonviolence of the weak.
Mahatma Gandhi
The sacred thread and the tuft of hair without a pure heart and a spirit of toleration do not make a Hindu.
Mahatma Gandhi
A life of sacrifice is the pinnacle of art, and is full of true joy.
Mahatma Gandhi
The Charkha in the hands of a poor widow brings a paltry price to her, in the hands of Jawaharlal it is an instrument of India's freedom.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is nothing but nonviolence to fall back upon for retaining our freedom, even as we had to do for gaining it.
Mahatma Gandhi
We are all very imperfect and weak things, and if we are to destroy all whose ways we do not like, there will be not a man left alive.
Mahatma Gandhi
My Hinduism must be a very poor thing if it cannot flourish even under the most adverse influence.
Mahatma Gandhi
For me to dominate the Congress in spite of these fundamental differences is almost a species of violence which I must refrain from.
Mahatma Gandhi
When there is no desire for fruit, there is also no temptation for untruth or himsa.
Mahatma Gandhi
The hardest heart and the grossest ignorance must disappear before the rising sun of suffering without anger and without malice.
Mahatma Gandhi
The golden rule is to act fearlessly upon what one believes to be right.
Mahatma Gandhi
