More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful then a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
Mahatma Gandhi
That which makes man the mere plaything of fate is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
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
To end slavery, you must overcome the mental and physical inertia of the masses and quicken their intelligence and creative faculty.
Mahatma Gandhi
The primary object of non-co-operation is nowhere stated to be paralysis of the Government. The primary object is self-purification.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
There is no god greater than truth.

Mahatma Gandhi
Hinduism is like the Ganga, pure and unsullied at its source but taking in its course the impurities in the way. Even like the Ganga it is beneficent in its total effect. It takes a provincial form in every province, but the inner substance is retained everywhere.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hatred ever kills, love never dies. Such is the vast difference between the two... The duty of a human being is to diminish hatred and to promote love.
Mahatma Gandhi
Capital as such is not evil it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.
Mahatma Gandhi
Idleness is the great plague of India.
Mahatma Gandhi
Human language can but imperfectly describe God's ways.
Mahatma Gandhi
World has things which full fill man needs, but not greeds.

People become what they expect themselves to become
