Mahatma Gandhi, Mohandas Gandhi, Homer A. Jack (2005). “The Wit and Wisdom of Gandhi”, p.150, Courier Corporation

Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right.

Freedom, Able, Doe

Mahatma Gandhi (1947). “Teachings of Mahatma Gandhi”

The avowed policy of non-co-operation has been not to make political use of the disputes between labour and capital.

Political, Use, Disputes

Mahatma Gandhi (1988). “Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi”

For a bowl of water give a goodly meal; For a kindly greeting bow thou down with zeal; For a simple penny pay thou back with gold; If thy life be rescued, life do not withhold. Thus the words and actions of the wise regard; Every little service tenfold they reward. But the truly noble know all men as one, And return with gladness good for evil done.

Wise, Simple, Men

Mahatma Gandhi (1948). “Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth”, p.31, Courier Corporation

The press is called the Fourth Estate. It is definitely a power, but, to misuse that power is criminal.

Criminals, Journalism, Misuse

Mahatma Gandhi (1968). “The Selected Works of Mahatma Gandhi: Satyagraha in South Africa”

Ahimsa is the highest duty. Even if we cannot practice it in full, we must try to understand its spirit and refrain as far as is humanly possible from violence.

Practice, Trying, Violence

Mahatma Gandhi (2000). “The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi”

But you can wake a man only if he is really asleep. No effort that you make will produce any effect upon him if he is merely pretending sleep.

Sleep, Men, Effort

Love and exclusive possession can never go together.

Love, Together, Possession

Mahatma Gandhi, Dennis Dalton (1996). “Gandhi: Selected Political Writings”, p.135, Hackett Publishing

Unless discipline is rooted in nonviolence, it might prove to be a source of infinite mischief.

Discipline, Might, Infinite

It is very significant that some of the most thoughtful and cultured men are partisans of a pure vegetable diet

Philosophical, Animal, Thoughtful

Mahatma Gandhi (1965). “The Health Guide”

I am not anti-English, I am not anti-British, I am not anti-any Government, but I am anti-untruth, anti-humbug and anti-injustice.

Government, Injustice, Language

Mahatma Gandhi, Dennis Dalton (1996). “Gandhi: Selected Political Writings”, p.66, Hackett Publishing

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. There is nothing more potent than thought. Deed follows word and word follows thought. The word is the result of a mighty thought, and where the thought is mighty and pure the result is always mighty and pure.

Strength, Deeds, Harmony

Mahatma Gandhi (2011). “The Way to God: Selected Writings from Mahatma Gandhi”, p.36, North Atlantic Books

Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.

Struggle, Acceptance, Opposites

"Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr: The Power of Nonviolent Action". Book by Mary King, p. 231, 1999.

There is enough for the need of everyone in this world, but not for the greed of everyone.

Greed, Needs, World

All of us with one voice call one God differently as Parmatma, Ishwara, Shiva, Vishnu, Rama, Allah, Khuda, Dada-Hormuzda, Jehova, God and an infinite variety of names.

Mahatma Gandhi (1950). “Hindu Dharma”

Today the cities dominate and drain the villages so that they are crumbling to ruin.

Cities, Crumbling, Village

Mahatma Gandhi (1959). “India of My Dreams”, p.103, Rajpal & Sons

For Hindus to expect Islam, Christianity or Zoroastrianism to be driven out of India is as idle a dream as it would be for Mussalmans to have only Islam of their imagination rule the world.

Dream, Imagination, Islam

Mahatma Gandhi (1957). “Christian Missions, Their Place in India”

I am but a poor struggling soul yearning to be wholly good, wholly truthful and wholly non-violent in thought, word and deed, but ever failing to reach the ideal which I know to be true. It is a painful climb, but each step upwards makes me feel stronger and fit for the next.

Spiritual, Struggle, Soul

Mahatma Gandhi (2005). “All Men Are Brothers”, p.56, A&C Black

I hold it a blasphemy to say that the Creator resides in a temple from which a particular class of His devotees sharing faith in it are excluded.

God, Class, Temples

Schools and colleges are really a factory for turning out clerks for the Government.
