Mahatma Gandhi quotes

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

Physical education should have as much place in the curriculum as mental training.
Mahatma Gandhi

If man will only realize that it is unmanly to obey laws that are unjust, no man's tyranny will
enslave him. This is the key to self- and home-rule.
Mahatma Gandhi

Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.
Mahatma Gandhi

Happiness is largely a mental condition. A man is not necessarily happy because he is rich, or
unhappy because he is poor. The rich are often seen to be unhappy, the poor to be happy.
Mahatma Gandhi

Whenever I see an erring man, I say to myself: "I have also erred;" when I see a lustful man,
I say to myself: "So was I once;" and in this way I feel kinship with everyone in the world and
feel that I cannot be happy without the humblest of us being happy.
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

Hinduism is not a religion... It is a way of life. Many who do not practice formal religion are
nearer to this way of life than some who do.
Mahatma Gandhi

If you cannot feel that the other faith is as true as yours, you should feel at least that the
men are as true as you.
Mahatma Gandhi

One's faith in one's plans and methods is truly tested when the horizon before one is the
blackest.
Mahatma Gandhi

Man will ever remain imperfect, and it will always be his part to try to be perfect. Perfection
in love or non-possession will remain an unattainable ideal as long as we are alive, but
towards which we must ceaselessly strive.
Mahatma Gandhi
