-
Where there is truth, there also is knowledge which is true.
Mahatma Gandhi -
If you have faith in the cause and the means and in God, the hot sun will be cool for you.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful then a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
Mahatma Gandhi -
And he who would be friends with God must remain alone, or make the whole world his friend.
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 -
Jesus was the most active resister known to history. His was nonviolence par excellence.
Mahatma Gandhi -
If intellect plays a large part in the field of violence, I hold that it plays a larger part in the field of nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi -
No people have risen who thought only of rights. Only those did so who thought of duties.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
Change yourself - you are in control.
Mahatma Gandhi -
In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good. But in the past, non-cooperation has been deliberately expressed in violence to the evildoer. I am endeavoring to show my countrymen that violent non-cooperation only multiplies evil and that evil can only be sustained by violence. Withdrawal of support of evil requires complete abstention from violence. Non-violence implies voluntary submission to the penalty for non-cooperation with evil.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Truth and nonviolence demand that no human being may debar himself from serving any other human being, no matter how sinful he may be.
Mahatma Gandhi -
The most heinous and the most cruel crimes of which history has record have been committed under the cover of religion or equally noble motives.
Mahatma Gandhi -
When I don't understand something, I reach up and hold God's hand. And we walk together in silence.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Religion is not what is grasped by the brain, but a heart grasp.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
Unless you go on discovering new applications of the law of nonviolence, you do not profit by it.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Now the man on duty used to be changed from time to time. Once one of these men, without giving me the slightest warning, without even asking me to leave the footpath, pushed and kicked me into the street. I was dismayed. Before I could question him as to his behaviour, Mr Coates, who happened to be passing the spot on horseback, hailed me and said: 'Gandhi, I have seen everything. I shall gladly be your witness in court if you proceed against the man. I am very sorry you have been so rudely assaulted.'
Mahatma Gandhi -
The British are weak in numbers, we are weak in spite of our numbers.
Mahatma Gandhi -
I have shut my mind against nothing and I am a friend of Great Britain. I always have been. I have no axe to grind.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Education in the understanding of citizenship is a short-term affair if we are honest and earnest.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Nonviolent action without the co-operation of the heart and the head cannot produce the intended result.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
That religion and that nation will be blotted out of the face of the earth which pins its faith on injustice, untruth or violence.
Mahatma Gandhi -
To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Dharma is one and one only. Ahimsa means moksha, and moksha is the realization of Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi -
If we are to create peace in our world, we must begin with our children.
