Use truth as your anvil, nonviolence as your hammer and anything that does not stand the test when it is brought to the anvil of truth and hammered with nonviolence, reject it.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

The ideally non-violent state will be an ordered anarchy.

If we were to drive out the English with the weapons with which they enslaved us, our slavery would still be with us even when they have gone.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

Hinduism is a living organism ...

Hinduism is a living organism liable to growth and decay subject to the laws of Nature. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. The changes in the season affect it. It has its autumn and its summer, its winter and its spring. It is, and is not, based on scriptures. It does not derive its authority from one book. Non violence has found the highest expression and application in Hinduism.

If love or non-violence be not the law of our being, the whole of my argument falls to pieces.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

If one has no affection for a ...

If one has no affection for a person or a system, one should feel free to give the fullest expression to his disaffection so long as he does not contemplate, promote, or incite violence.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

That which looks for mercy from an opponent is not non-violence.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

Non-violent resistance implies...

Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

In the secret of my heart I am...

In the secret of my heart I am in perpetual quarrel with God that He should allow such things [as the war] to go on. My non-violence seems almost impotent. But the answer comes at the end of the daily quarrel that neither God nor non-violence is impotent. Impotence is in men. I must try on without losing faith even though I may break in the attempt.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat for it is momentary.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

A non-violent revolution is not a program of seizure of power. It is a program of transformation of relationships, ending in a peaceful transfer of power.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

It is open to a war resister to judge between the combatants and wish success to the one who has justice on his side. By so judging he is more likely to bring peace between the two than by remaining a mere spectator.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

The mice which helplessly find themselves between the cats teeth acquire no merit from their enforced sacrifice.

A burning passion coupled with absolute detachment is the key to all success.

A correct diagnosis is three-fourths the remedy.

I do not want a kingdom, or heaven; what I want is to remove the trouble of the oppressed, the poor, and the needy.

As the means, so the end.

By education, I mean an all-round drawing of the best in child and man in body, mind and spirit.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

The real difficulty is that pe...

The real difficulty is that people have no idea of what education truly is. We assess the value of education in the same manner as we assess the value of land or of shares in the stock-exchange market. We want to provide only such education as would enable the student to earn more. We hardly give any thought to the improvement of the character of the educated. The girls, we say, do not have to earn; so why should they be educated? As long as such ideas persist there is no hope of our ever knowing the true value of educ
