Gandhi quotes

  1. An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.                             
  2. Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.    
  3. Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.
  4. Are creeds such simple things like the clothes which a man can change at will and put on at will? Creeds are such for which people live for ages and ages.
  5. As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.
  6. Be the change that you want to see in the world.
  7. Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.
  8. But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.
  9. Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.
  10. Commonsense is the realised sense of proportion.
  11. Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.
  12. Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
  13. Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.
  14. Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.
  15. Each one prays to God according to his own light.
  16. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.
  17. Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent.
  18. Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.
  19. Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.
  20. Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.
