Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. ~Mahatma Gandhi
An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind. ~Mahatma Gandhi
An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so. Now the law of nonviolence says that violence should be resisted not by counter-violence but by nonviolence. This I do by breaking the law and by peacefully submitting to arrest and imprisonment. ~Mahatma Gandhi
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves. ~Mahatma Gandhi

Ethically they had arrived at the conclusion that man's supremacy over lower animals meant not that the former should prey upon the latter, but that the higher should protect the lower, and that there should be mutual aid between the two as between man and man. They had also brought out the truth that man eats not for enjoyment but to live. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph: a beginning, a struggle, and a victory. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into. ~Mahatma Gandhi

I am but a poor struggling soul yearning to be wholly good, wholly truthful and wholly non-violent in thought, word and deed, but ever failing to reach the ideal which I know to be true. It is a painful climb, but each step upwards makes me feel stronger and fit for the next. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I become more than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of Hussein, the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers and his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and that also that all had some error in them, and while I hold by my own religion, I should hold other religions as dear as Hinduism. So we can only pray, if we were Hindus, not that a Christian should become a Hindu; but our innermost prayer should be that a Hindu should become a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, and a Christian a better Christian. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I cannot conceive of a greater loss than the loss of one's self-respect. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I have learnt through bitter experience the one supreme lesson to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmuted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmuted into a power which can move the world. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I must say that, beyond occasionally exposing me to laughter, my constitutional shyness has been no dis-advantage whatever. In fact I can see that, on the contrary, it has been all to my advantage. My hesitancy in speech, which was once an annoyance, is now a pleasure. Its greatest benefit has been that it has taught me the economy of words. I have naturally formed the habit of restraining my thoughts. And I can now give myself the certificate that a thoughtless word hardly ever escapes my tongue or pen. I do not recollect ever having had to regret anything in my speech or writing. I have thus been spared many a mishap and waste of time. Experience has taught me that silence is part of the spiritual discipline of a votary of truth. Proneness to exaggerate, to suppress or modify the truth, wittingly or unwittingly, is a natural weakness of man, and silence is necessary in order to surmount it. A man of few words will rarely be thoughtless in his speech; he will measure every word. We find so many people impatient to talk. There is no chairman of a meeting who is not pestered with notes for permission to speak. And whenever the permission is given the speaker generally exceeds the time-limit, asks for more time, and keeps on talking without permission. All this talking can hardly be said to be of any benefit to the world. It is so much waste of time. My shyness has been in reality my shield and buckler. It has allowed me to grow. It has helped me in my discernment of truth. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I should love to satisfy all, if I possibly can; but in trying to satisfy all, I may be able to satisfy none. I have, therefore, arrived at the conclusion that the best course is to satisfy one’s own conscience and leave the world to form its own judgment, favorable or otherwise. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I want freedom for the full expression of my personality. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I was reading. ~Mahatma Gandhi
I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet. ~Mahatma Gandhi
If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide. ~Mahatma Gandhi
If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning. ~Mahatma Gandhi
If I were a dictator, religion and state would be separate. I swear by my religion. I will die for it. But it is my personal affair. The state has nothing to do with it. The state would look after your secular welfare, health, communications, foreign relations, currency and so on, but not your or my religion. That is everybody's personal concern! ~Mahatma Gandhi
If I were asked to define the Hindu creed, I should simply say: Search after truth through non-violent means. A man may not believe in God and still call himself a Hindu. Hinduism is a relentless pursuit after truth... Hinduism is the religion of truth. Truth is God. Denial of God we have known. Denial of truth we have not known. ~Mahatma Gandhi
If we are to reach real peace in the world, we shall have to begin with the children. ~Mahatma Gandhi
If you don't find God in the next person you meet, it is a waste of time looking for him further. ~Mahatma Gandhi

It is easier to build a boy than to mend a man. ~Mahatma Gandhi
It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business. ~Mahatma Gandhi
It is not that I do not get angry. I don't give vent to my anger. I cultivate the quality of patience as angerlessness, and generally speaking, I succeed. But I only control my anger when it comes. How I find it possible to control it would be a useless question, for it is a habit that everyone must cultivate and must succeed in forming by constant practice. ~Mahatma Gandhi
It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. ~Mahatma Gandhi
It is wrong and immoral to seek to escape the consequences of one's acts. ~Mahatma Gandhi
it's easy to stand in the crowd but it takes courage to stand alone ~Mahatma Gandhi
It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Liberty and democracy become unholy when their hands are dyed red with innocent blood. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Live simply so that others may simply live. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Love is the strongest force the world possesses and yet it is the humblest imaginable. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Love never claims, it ever gives. Love ever suffers, never resents never revenges itself. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Manliness consists not in bluff, bravado or loneliness. It consists in daring to do the right thing and facing consequences whether it is in matters social, political or other. It consists in deeds not words. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth. ~Mahatma Gandhi
My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet. ~Mahatma Gandhi
My Life is My Message ~Mahatma Gandhi
No one can ride on the back of a man unless it is bent. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Nobody can hurt me without my permission. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Nonviolence is a weapon of the strong. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing has saddened me so much in life as the hardness of heart of educated people. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Nothing is so aggravating as calmness. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Of all the evils for which man has made himself responsible, none is so degrading, so shocking or so brutal as his abuse of the better half of humanity; the female sex. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilisation. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs... Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home ~Mahatma Gandhi
Poverty is the worst form of violence. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Prayer is not an old woman's idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full victory. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Seek not greater wealth, but simpler pleasure; not higher fortune, but deeper felicity. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Speak only if it improves upon the silence. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. ~Mahatma Gandhi

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
The future depends on what you do today. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless a creature the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of humankind. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The inner voice is something which cannot be described in words. But sometimes we have a positive feeling that something in us prompts us to do a certain thing. The time when I learnt to recognise this voice was, I may say, the time when I started praying regularly. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The moment there is suspicion about a person's motives, everything he does becomes tainted. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The only tyrant I accept in this world is the 'still small voice' within me. And even though I have to face the prospect of being a minority of one, I humbly believe I have the courage to be in such a hopeless minority. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The path is the goal. ~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
The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful then a thousand heads bowing in prayer. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. ~Mahatma Gandhi

There are no good-byes, where ever you'll be, you'll be in my heart. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There is force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There is more to life than simply increasing its speed. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There is no such thing as ‘too insane’ unless others turn up dead due to your actions. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There is no 'way to peace,' there is only 'peace. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There would be nothing to frighten you if you refused to be afraid. ~Mahatma Gandhi
They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them. ~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
To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest. ~Mahatma Gandhi
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. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?" ~Mahatma Gandhi
To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer. ~Mahatma Gandhi
To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. ~Mahatma Gandhi
True beauty lies in purity of the heart. ~Mahatma Gandhi
True love is boundless like the ocean and, swelling within one, spreads itself out and, crossing all boundaries and frontiers, envelops the whole world. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Truth is one, paths are many. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Truth never damages a cause that is just. ~Mahatma Gandhi
What barrier is there that love cannot break? ~Mahatma Gandhi
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty or democracy? ~Mahatma Gandhi
Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. ~Mahatma Gandhi
When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal. ~Mahatma Gandhi
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Where love is, there God is also. ~Mahatma Gandhi

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. ~Mahatma Gandhi
You yourself as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve love and affection. ~Mahatma Gandhi
A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes. ~Mahatma Gandhi
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble. ~Mahatma Gandhi

The future depends on what you do today. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless a creature the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of humankind. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The inner voice is something which cannot be described in words. But sometimes we have a positive feeling that something in us prompts us to do a certain thing. The time when I learnt to recognise this voice was, I may say, the time when I started praying regularly. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The moment there is suspicion about a person's motives, everything he does becomes tainted. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The only tyrant I accept in this world is the 'still small voice' within me. And even though I have to face the prospect of being a minority of one, I humbly believe I have the courage to be in such a hopeless minority. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The path is the goal. ~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
The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful then a thousand heads bowing in prayer. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There are many causes I would die for. There is not a single cause I would kill for. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There are no good-byes, where ever you'll be, you'll be in my heart. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There is force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There is more to life than simply increasing its speed. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There is no such thing as ‘too insane’ unless others turn up dead due to your actions. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There is no 'way to peace,' there is only 'peace. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There would be nothing to frighten you if you refused to be afraid. ~Mahatma Gandhi
They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them. ~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
To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest. ~Mahatma Gandhi
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. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?" ~Mahatma Gandhi
To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer. ~Mahatma Gandhi

Truth is one, paths are many. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Truth never damages a cause that is just. ~Mahatma Gandhi
What barrier is there that love cannot break? ~Mahatma Gandhi
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty or democracy? ~Mahatma Gandhi
Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. ~Mahatma Gandhi
When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal. ~Mahatma Gandhi
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Where love is, there God is also. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Where there is life, there is love. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Where there is love there is life. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Wherever you are you will always be in my heart. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Yes I am, I am also a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, and a Jew. ~Mahatma Gandhi

You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results. ~Mahatma Gandhi
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. ~Mahatma Gandhi
You yourself as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve love and affection. ~Mahatma Gandhi
