Mahatma Gandhi

I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.

The spinning wheel is not merely a symbol of self-sufficiency, but a symbol of unity.

It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.

I have an immovable faith in God and His Goodness.

The Golden Rule is to be found in every religion, in some form or another.

I am a Hindu, a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew, a Buddhist, and a Parsi.

Civil disobedience is the inherent right of a citizen.

The very first step in nonviolence is that we cultivate in our daily life, as between ourselves, truthfulness, humility, tolerance and loving kindness.

I am a 'Bania'. I am a 'Vaishya'. I am a 'Shudra'. I am an 'Untouchable'.

My greatest weapon is prayer.

I have been a barrister for twenty years. I know the laws of the country. I know that I am breaking the law.

I want to identify myself with the poorest in the land.

Non-violence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.

If I had no sense of humour, I would long ago have committed suicide.

I am a Hindu. I am a Muslim. I am a Christian. I am a Jew.

The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. He frees himself and shows others the way. Freedom and slavery are states of mind.

I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.

There are many causes that I am prepared to die for, but no causes that I am prepared to kill for.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

Action expresses priorities.
