Mohandas Gandhi Quotes

«Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.»
«Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.»
«Non-violence, which is the quality of the heart, cannot come by an appeal to the brain.»
«I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any. I refuse to live in other people's houses as an interloper, a beggar or a slave.»
«No religion which is narrow and which cannot satisfy the test of reason, will survive the coming reconstruction of society in which the values will have changed and character, not possession of wealth, title or birth will be the test of merit.»
«It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained.»
«I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.»
«The world is touched by sacrifice. It does not then discriminate about the merits of a cause. Not so God - He is all seeing. He insists on the purity of the cause and on adequate sacrifice thereof.»
«Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.»
«I saw that nations like individuals could only be made through the agony of the Cross and in no other way. Joy comes not out of infliction of pain on others but out of pain voluntarily borne by oneself.»
