Mahatma Gandhi

“Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.”

“The good man is the friend of all living things.”

“Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men, who are after all imperfect instruments, working for their fulfilment.”

“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.”

“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.”

“I am in the world feeling my way to light 'amid the encircling gloom.'”

“God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.”

“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”

“It may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful?”

“There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.”

“In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”

“Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself.”

“Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being.”

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

“Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it.”

“There is more to life than increasing its speed.”

“What is true of the individual will be tomorrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.”

“Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.”

“Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.”

“Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.”
