Mahatma Gandhi Quotes

A principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practise perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice Picture Quote #1

All compromise is based on give and take, but there can be no give and take on fundamentals. Any compromise on mere fundamentals is a surrender. For it is all give and no take Picture Quote #1

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it Picture Quote #1

An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so Picture Quote #1

Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed Picture Quote #1

Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession Picture Quote #1

I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps Picture Quote #1

I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul Picture Quote #1

I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality Picture Quote #1

Increase of material comforts, it may be generally laid down, does not in any way whatsoever conduce to moral growth Picture Quote #1

Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit Picture Quote #1

It is any day better to stand erect with a broken and bandaged head then to crawl on one’s belly, in order to be able to save one’s head Picture Quote #1

Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him Picture Quote #1

Moral authority is never retained by any attempt to hold on to it. It comes without seeking and is retained without effort Picture Quote #1

Morality which depends upon the helplessness of a man or woman has not much to recommend it. Morality is rooted in the purity of our hearts Picture Quote #1

Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it Picture Quote #1

Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action Picture Quote #1

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart Picture Quote #1

Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy Picture Quote #1

The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience Picture Quote #1

The law of sacrifice is uniform throughout the world. To be effective it demands the sacrifice of the bravest and the most spotless Picture Quote #1

The moment there is suspicion about a person’s motives, everything he does becomes tainted Picture Quote #1

There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts Picture Quote #1

There is a sufficiency in the world for man’s need but not for man’s greed Picture Quote #1

There is an orderliness in the universe, there is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is no blind law; for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings Picture Quote #1

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer Picture Quote #1

We do not need to proselytise either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study Picture Quote #1

We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts? Picture Quote #1

We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it Picture Quote #1

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy? Picture Quote #1
