Mohandas Gandhi

Who wants to be a Mahatma?

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.

~ Mohandas Gandhi

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

~ Mohandas Gandhi

~ Mohandas Gandhi

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

~ Mahatma Gandhi

“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

~ Mohandas Gandhi

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

~ Mohandas Gandhi

“You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.”

~ Mohandas Gandhi

Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty, it is it's own reward. Everything else is in God's hands. 


~ Mahatma Gandhi

Life is governed by a multitude of forces. It would be smooth sailing if one could determine the course of one's actions only by one general principle whose application at a given moment was too obvious to need even a moment's reflection. But I cannot recall a single act which could be so easily determined.


~ Mohandas Gandhi,  My Participation In War

I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.


~ Mohandas Gandhi

“Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:

- I shall not fear anyone on Earth. 
- I shall fear only God. 
- I shall not bear ill will toward anyone. 
- I shall not submit to injustice from anyone. 
- I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.”

~ Mahatma Gandhi

It is the action, not the fruit of the action, that is important.  It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there will be any fruit, but that doesn't mean that you stop doing the right thing.  

You may never know what results from your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.

~ Mohandas Gandhi
