Anything which is a hindrance to the fight of the soul is a delusion and a snare, even like the body which often does hinder you in the path of salvation.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
I want freedom for the full expression of my personality.

Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state has become lawless or corrupt. And a citizen who barters with such a state shares in its corruption and lawlessness.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Violence becomes imperative when an attempt is made to assert rights without any reference to duties.

Mahatma Gandhi -
In the dictionary of Satyagraha, there is no enemy.
Mahatma Gandhi -
It amazes me to find an intelligent person who fights against something which he does not at all believe exists.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
But all my life though, the very insistence on truth has taught me to appreciate the beauty of compromise. I saw in later life that this spirit was an essential part of Satyagraha. It has often meant endangering my life and incurring the displeasure of friends. But truth is hard as adamant and tender as a blossom.
Mahatma Gandhi -
The cry for the national home for the Jews does not make much appeal to me. The sanction for it is sought in the Bible and the tenacity with which the Jews have hankered after return to Palestine. Why should they not, like other peoples of the earth, make that country their home where they are born and where they earn their livelihood?
Mahatma Gandhi -
I am a poor mendicant. My earthly possessions consist of six spinning wheels, prison dishes, a can of goat's milk, six homespun loincloths and towels and my reputation, which cannot be worth much.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Sense perceptions can be and often are false and deceptive, however real they may appear to us. Where there is realization outside the senses, it is infallible. It is proved not by extraneous evidence but in the transformed conduct and character of those who have felt the real presence of God within.
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 -
Fight if you must on the path of righteousness and God will be with you.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.

Ahimsa can be practiced only towards those that are inferior to you in every way.

Mahatma Gandhi -
I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Our sages have taught us to learn one thing; `As in the Self, so in the Universe.' It is not possible to scan the universe as it is to scan the self. Know the self and you know the universe.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
My mother would tell me that the shortest cut to purification after the unholy touch was to cancel the touch by touching any Mussalman passing by.
Mahatma Gandhi -
That nation is great which rests its head upon death as its pillow.
Mahatma Gandhi -
After long study and experience, I have come to the conclusion that (1) all religions are true; (2) all religions have some error in them; (3) all religions are almost as dear to me as my own Hinduism, in as much as all human beings should be as dear to one as one's own close relatives.
Mahatma Gandhi -
I would beseech you not only to be pure beyond suspicion but I would ask you to combine with stainless purity, great wisdom and great ability.
Mahatma Gandhi
