Mahatma Gandhi

I cannot imagine anything nobler or more national than that for, say, one hour in the day we should all do the labor the poor must do, and thus identify ourselves with them and through them, with all mankind.

Mahatma Gandhi

I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.

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 in me to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.

Mahatma Gandhi

I could not be leading a religious life unless I identified myself with the whole of mankind, and that I could not do unless I took part in politics.

Mahatma Gandhi

I desire no honour if I have to conceal my religious beliefs in order to have it.

Mahatma Gandhi

I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence.

Mahatma Gandhi

I do feel that spiritual progress does demand at some stage that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants.

Mahatma Gandhi

I do not regard flesh-food as necessary for us at any stage and under any clime in which it is possible for human beings ordinarily to live, I hold flesh-food to be unsuited to our species.

Mahatma Gandhi

I do not regard killing or assassination or terrorism as good in any circumstances whatsoever.

Mahatma Gandhi

I do not seek redemption from the consequences of my sin. I seek to be redeemed from sin itself. Until I have attained that end, I shall be content to be restless.
