Mahatma Gandhi

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

Action expresses priorities.
Mahatma Gandhi

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.
Mahatma Gandhi

But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.

Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.
Mahatma Gandhi

Commonsense is the realised sense of proportion.
Mahatma Gandhi

Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.
Mahatma Gandhi

Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
Mahatma Gandhi

Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.
Mahatma Gandhi


Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.
Mahatma Gandhi

Each one prays to God according to his own light.
Mahatma Gandhi

Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.
Mahatma Gandhi

Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent.

Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.
Mahatma Gandhi

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Mahatma Gandhi

For me every ruler is alien that defies public opinion.

Mahatma Gandhi

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.
Mahatma Gandhi

I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.
Mahatma Gandhi

I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

Mahatma Gandhi

Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him.
Mahatma Gandhi

Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep.
Mahatma Gandhi

Measures must always in a progressive society be held superior to men, who are after all imperfect instruments, working for their fulfilment.

There is no principle worth the name if it is not wholly good.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
Mahatma Gandhi

Those who know how to think need no teachers.
Mahatma Gandhi

Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
Mahatma Gandhi

Though we may know Him by a thousand names, He is one and the same to us all.
Mahatma Gandhi

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

To deprive a man of his natural liberty and to deny to him the ordinary amenities of life is worse then starving the body; it is starvation of the soul, the dweller in the body.
Mahatma Gandhi

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
Mahatma Gandhi

Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.

Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

Mahatma Gandhi

Where there is love there is life.
Mahatma Gandhi

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

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi

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.
Mahatma Gandhi


We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?
Mahatma Gandhi

We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.
Mahatma Gandhi

We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse, the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.
Mahatma Gandhi


Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.
Mahatma Gandhi

Non-violence and truth are inseparable and presuppose one another.

Mahatma Gandhi

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
Mahatma Gandhi


I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.
Mahatma Gandhi

I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.
Mahatma Gandhi

I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
Mahatma Gandhi

Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.
Mahatma Gandhi

Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.
Mahatma Gandhi

Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.
Mahatma Gandhi

Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.
Mahatma Gandhi

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.
Mahatma Gandhi

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

An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.
Mahatma Gandhi




Bijna alles wat u doet is onbelangrijk, maar het is erg belangrijk dat u het doet.

De geest wordt onzuiver als het hart niet gewassen wordt door gebed.
 

Er zijn mensen in de wereld die zo arm zijn dat God hun niet kan verschijnen tenzij in de vorm van een brood.
boek Wie smaak vindt in het lezen van goede boeken is bij machte om eenzaamheid te dragen, om het even waar en met groot gemak.


Het gebed is geen ijdel pleziertje van oude vrouwen. Als men het juist begrijpt en benut is het het machtigste middel tot de actie.

Gebed is de sleutel van de ochtend en de grendel van de avond.

Geweldloosheid is de uiterste graad van deemoed.

Er is een groter gerechtshof dan alle bestaande rechtbanken en dat is het gerechtshof van het geweten.

Je kan geen hand schudden met een gebalde vuist.

Indien ik geen gevoel voor humor had, dan zou ik al lang geleden zelfmoord gepleegd hebben.


Leugen is de moeder van het geweld.

Wie smaak vindt in het lezen van goede boeken is bij machte om eenzaamheid te dragen om het even
waar en met groot gemak.

De mens wordt vaak wat hij denkt.

Als je zorgt voor de middelen zal het doel wel voor zichzelf zorgen.
onverdraagzaamheid Onverdraagzaamheid is geweld tegen de geest en haat is geweld tegen het hart.

Een oog voor een oog maakt de hele wereld blind.

Wantrouwen is een teken van zwakheid.

Iemand kan je alleen je zelfrespect afnemen als je het hem geeft.
