Mahatma Gandhi quotes

I never attempted to disguise my ignorance from my pupils.
Mahatma Gandhi

No tyrant has yet lived who has not paid for the suffering he has caused. No lover has ever
given pain without being more pained.
Mahatma Gandhi

Fatalism has its limits. We leave things to fate after exhausting all the remedies.
Mahatma Gandhi

Hinduism is not an exclusive religion. In it, there is room for the worship of all the prophets of
the world. It is not a missionary religion in the ordinary sense of the term. Hinduism tells
everyone to worship God according to his own faith or dharma, and so it lives at peace with
all religions.
Mahatma Gandhi

I am "anti-all-wars."
Mahatma Gandhi

In matters of conscience, the law of majority has no place.
Mahatma Gandhi

Machinery has its place; it has come to stay. But it must not be allowed to displace
necessary human labor.

As long as the birth of a girl does not receive the same welcome as that of a boy, so long we
should know that India is suffering from partial paralysis.
Mahatma Gandhi

A woman's intuition has often proved truer than man's arrogant assumption of superior
knowledge.
Mahatma Gandhi

The tendency of the Indian civilization is to elevate the moral being, that of the Western
civilization is to propagate immorality. The latter is godless, the former is based on belief in
God.
Mahatma Gandhi

Experience has made me wiser.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mankind cannot live by logic alone, but also needs poetry.
Mahatma Gandhi

Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that
surround it, it shines clear.

Love is the strongest force the world possesses and yet it is the humblest imaginable.
Mahatma Gandhi

To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.
Mahatma Gandhi

Things that will destroy man: Politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth
without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without
humanity; worship without sacrifice.
Mahatma Gandhi

I tolerate unreasonable religious sentiment when it is not immoral.
Mahatma Gandhi

Missionaries in India are laboring under a double fallacy: that what they think best for another
person is really so; and that what they regard as the best for themselves is the best for the
whole world. I am pleading for a little humility.
Mahatma Gandhi

True happiness is impossible without true health, and true health is impossible without a rigid
control of the palate.
Mahatma Gandhi

Non-violence is the law of our species as violence is the law of the brute.
Mahatma Gandhi

The example of a few true men or women if they have fully imbibed the spirit of non-violence
is bound to infect the whole mass in the end.
Mahatma Gandhi

Our passion for exercise should become so strong that we could not bring ourselves to
dispense with it on any account. We hardly realize how weak and futile is our mental work
when unaccompanied by hard physical exercise.
Mahatma Gandhi

The very purpose of marriage is restraint and sublimation of the sexual passion. If there
is any other purpose, marriage is no consecration.
Mahatma Gandhi

Put your talents in the service of the country instead of converting them into pounds,
shillings, and pence.
Mahatma Gandhi

Non-cooperation is not a passive state, it is an intensely active state - more active than
physical resistance or violence. Passive resistance is a misnomer.
Mahatma Gandhi
