Mahatma Gandhi

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.

There is no path to peace, peace is the path.

One day, I found that my clothes were full of bugs. I was horrified. I thought: 'I have to get rid of these bugs.' But then I thought: 'No, I cannot kill them. They are living beings.' So I took them off very carefully, one by one, and put them in a bottle.

I have been a barrister, a journalist, a nurse, a stretcher-bearer, a scavenger, and what not.

I wear the minimum of clothes. If I had to wear more clothes, I would feel I was being false to my mission.

I am a communist and also a socialist. I am a democrat and also a totalitarian. I believe in non-violence and I also believe in violence if it is for a good cause.

I am against all forms of exploitation.

My nationalism is intense internationalism.

The earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.

I claim to be a practical idealist.

I believe in the perfectibility of human nature.

My experiments in the political field are now a matter of history.

I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills.

It is not the British I hate, it is the British system I hate.

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

I cannot conceive of a greater wrong than to keep women from going to school.

To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.

God is not a person. God is a force. The world is nothing but a manifestation of that force.

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