“The Mahabharata was not composed with the aim of describing a battle. The description of the battle serves only as a pretext.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“I must confess that here I had to compromise the principle of giving no commission, which in Bombay I had so scrupulously observed. I was told that conditions in the two cases were different; that whilst in Bombay commissions had to be paid to touts, here they had to be paid to vakils who briefed you; and that here as in Bombay all barristers, without exception, paid a percentage of their fees as commission.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“As soon as men live entirely in accord with the law of love natural to their hearts and now revealed to them, which excludes all resistance by violence, and therefore hold aloof from all participation in violence—as soon as this happens, not only will hundreds be unable to enslave millions, but not even millions will be able to enslave a single individual. Do not resist the evil-doer and take no part in doing so, either in the violent deeds of the administration, in the law courts, the collection of taxes, or above all in soldiering, and no one in the world will be able to enslave you.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“There is no such thing as ‘too insane’ unless others turn up dead due to your actions.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“Speak only if it improves upon the silence.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?"

Mahatma Gandhi

“Joy lies in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in the victory itself”

Mahatma Gandhi

“It is impossible in this body to follow ahimsa fully. Violence is inescapable. While the eyes wink and nails have to be pared, violence in one form or another is unavoidable. Evil is inherent in action, says the Gita. Arjuna did not, therefore, raise the question of violence and nonviolence. He simply raised the question of distinction between kinsmen and others, much in the same way that a fond mother would advance arguments favouring her child.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“I learned from Hussain how to be wronged and be a winner, I learnt from Hussain how to attain victory while being oppressed.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“My politics is my religion, my religion is my politics.” 

Mahatma Gandhi

“I want the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown of my feet by any”

Mahatma Gandhi

“I saw that a man of truth must also be a man of care.”

Mahatma Gandhi
