At times of writing I never think what I have said before. My aim is not to be consistent with my previous statements on a given question, but to be consistent with truth as it may present itself to me at a given moment. The result has been that I have grown from truth to truth.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

A pacifism which can see the cruelties only of occasional military warfare and is blind to the continuous cruelties of our social system is worthless.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

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

What is Truth? A difficult qu...

What is Truth? A difficult question; but I have solved it for myself by saying that it is what the "voice within" tells you. All that I can in true humility present to you is that Truth is not to be found by anybody who has not got an abundant sense of humility. If you would swim on the bosom of the ocean of Truth you must reduce yourself to zero.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

It is not that I do not get a...

It is not that I do not get angry. I don't give vent to my anger. I cultivate the quality of patience as angerlessness, and generally speaking, I succeed. But I only control my anger when it comes. How I find it possible to control it would be a useless question, for it is a habit that everyone must cultivate and must succeed in forming by constant practice.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

God will not be God, if He allowed Himself to be the object of proof by His creatures.

If I could persuade myself that I could find Him in a Himalayan cave I would proceed there immediately.

If we had attained the full vision of Truth, we would no longer be seekers, but become one with God, for Truth is God.

It is the reformer who is anxious for the reform, and not society, from which he should expect nothing better than opposition, abhorrence and even mortal persecution.

Courtesy towards opponents and eagerness to understand their view-point is the ABC of non-violence.

I do regard Islam to be a religion of peace in the same sense as Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism are.

Possession of arms implies an element of fear, if not of cowardice.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

Experience convinces me that permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth & violence. Even if my belief is a fond delusion, it will be admitted that it is a fascinating delusion.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

Why, of all places in Johanne...

Why, of all places in Johannesburg, the Indian location should be chosen for dumping down all kaffirs of the town, passes my comprehension. Of course, under my suggestion, the Town Council must withdraw the Kaffirs from the Location. About this mixing of the Kaffirs with the Indians I must confess I feel most strongly. I think it is very unfair to the Indian population, and it is an undue tax on even the proverbial patience of my countrymen.

If our ahimsa is not of the brave but of the weak, and if it will bend the knee before himsa, Gandhism deserves to be destroyed.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

It is my conviction that nothing enduring
can be built on violence.
The only safe way to overcome an enemy
is to make of that enemy a friend.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

If India won her freedom through truth and non-violence, India would not only point the way to all the exploited Asiatic nations, she would become a torch-bearer for the Negro races.

Mahatma Gandhi 3458 quotes

Complete civil disobedience is a state of peaceful rebellion, a refusal to obey every single state-made law.

Yajna is duty to be performed, or service to be rendered, all twenty-four hours of the day.

I would rather drown myself in the waters of the Sabarmati than harbour hate or animosity in my heart.
