I am a seasoned soldier of nonviolence, and I have evidence enough to sustain my faith.

The only safe and honorable course for a self-respecting man is to do what I have decided to do, that is, to submit without protest to the penalty of disobedience ... not for want of respect for lawful authority, but in obedience to the higher law of our being, the voice of conscience.

Many could forgo heavy meals, a full wardrobe, a fine house, etcetera. It is the ego they cannot forgo.

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.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

I do believe that where there...

I do believe that where there is a choice between cowardice and non-violence I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence.

True art takes note not merely of form but also of what lies behind.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

If we take care of the means,...

If we take care of the means, we are bound to reach the end sooner or later. When once we have grasped this point, final victory is beyond question. Whatever difficulties we encounter, whatever apparent reverses we sustain, we may not give up the quest for truth.

My notion of democracy is that under it the weakest shall have the same opportunities as the strongest.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

I recall having read, at the brothers' instance, Madame Blavatsky's Key to Theosophy. This book stimulated in me the desire to read books on Hinduism, and disabused me of the notion fostered by the missionaries that Hinduism was rife with superstition.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

I regard myself as a soldier, though a soldier of peace.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

The true democrat is he who with purely nonviolent means defends his liberty and, therefore, his country's and ultimately that of the whole of mankind.

Cowardice is not a sign of belief in God.

A votary of ahimsa always prays for ultimate deliverance from the bondage of the flesh.

We should be able to refuse to live if the price of living be the torture of sentient beings.

Abstract truth has no value unless it incarnates in human beings who represent it, by proving their readiness to die for it.

Men say I am a saint losing himself in politics. The fact is that I am a politician trying my hardest to become a saint.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

Breach of promise is no less an act of insolvency than a refusal to pay one's debt.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

Just as one must learn the art of killing in the training for violence, so one must learn the art of dying in the training for non-violence. Violence does not mean the emancipation from fear, but discovering the means of combating the cause of fear. Nonviolence, on the other hand, has no cause for fear. The votary of nonviolence has to cultivate the capacity for sacrifice of the highest type in order to be free from fear. He recks not if he should lose his land, his wealth, his life.
