Quotes of Mahatma Gandhi

  1. Exaggeration is also species of untruth
     
  2. I cannot think of permanent enmity between man and man.
     
  3. A man of few words will rarely be thoughtless in his speech. He will measure every word.
     
  4. Where the means are clean, there God is undoubtedly present with His blessings. And where these combine, there defeat is an impossibility.
     
  5. Restlessness and impatience are two diseases and both shorten life.
     
  6. Hatred injures the hater, never the hated.
     
  7. The world is weary of hate. We see the fatigue overcoming the western nations. We see that this song of hate has not benefited humanity. Let it be the privilege of India to turn a new leaf and set a lesson to the world.
     
  8. No man whose character is not pure can be said to be really healthy. The body which contains a diseased mind can never be anything but diseased.
     
  9. It is perhaps human nature to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Only the wise sift the grain from the chaff.
     
  10. If you are good, the world is good. Bhagwan Patanjali has written that the desire for revenge disappears in the presence of non-violence.
     
  11. Man rises by realizing the true nature of the Self, by meditating thereon and by following its virtues. A contrary course of action leads to his downfall.
     
  12. Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man. Destruction is not the law of the humans. Man lives freely by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him. Every murder or other injury, no matter for what cause, committed or inflicted on another is a crime against humanity.
