My creed of nonviolence is an extremely active force.

My creed of nonviolence is an extremely active force.

Mahatma Gandhi (1980). “All Men are Brothers: Autobiographical Reflections”, p.92, A&C Black

I have no weapon but nonviolence.

Mahatma Gandhi, Dennis Dalton (1996). “Gandhi: Selected Political Writings”, p.43, Hackett Publishing

Nonviolent action without the co-operation of the heart and the head cannot produce the intended result.

Heart, Action, Results

Mahatma Gandhi (1958). “Satyagraha (non-violent Resistance)”

A nonviolent person's life is always at the disposal of him who would take it.

Life Is, Persons, Nonviolence

Mahatma Gandhi, Anand T. Hingorani, Ganga Anand Hingorani (1985). “The Encyclopaedia of Gandhian Thoughts”

If we are nonviolent through and through, our nonviolence would have been self-evident.

Mahatma Gandhi (1974). “Collected Works”

Moral result can only be produced by moral restraints.

Mahatma Gandhi, Judith M. Brown (2008). “The Essential Writings”, p.251, Oxford University Press

Just as one must learn the art of killing in the training for violence, so one must learn the art of dying in the training for non-violence. Violence does not mean the emancipation from fear, but discovering the means of combating the cause of fear. Nonviolence, on the other hand, has no cause for fear. The votary of nonviolence has to cultivate the capacity for sacrifice of the highest type in order to be free from fear. He recks not if he should lose his land, his wealth, his life.

Art, Mean, Sacrifice

It is not that I do not get angry. I don't give vent to my anger. I cultivate the quality of patience as angerlessness, and generally speaking, I succeed. But I only control my anger when it comes. How I find it possible to control it would be a useless question, for it is a habit that everyone must cultivate and must succeed in forming by constant practice.

Spiritual, Practice, Giving

Mahatma Gandhi (1943). “He Follows Christ”

Hinduism is a living organism liable to growth and decay subject to the laws of Nature. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. The changes in the season affect it. It has its autumn and its summer, its winter and its spring. It is, and is not, based on scriptures. It does not derive its authority from one book. Non violence has found the highest expression and application in Hinduism.

Summer, Spring, Book

If we take care of the means, we are bound to reach the end sooner or later. When once we have grasped this point, final victory is beyond question. Whatever difficulties we encounter, whatever apparent reverses we sustain, we may not give up the quest for truth.

Wisdom, Giving Up, Mean

Mahatma Gandhi (2005). “All Men Are Brothers”, p.77, A&C Black

Why, of all places in Johannesburg, the Indian location should be chosen for dumping down all kaffirs of the town, passes my comprehension. Of course, under my suggestion, the Town Council must withdraw the Kaffirs from the Location. About this mixing of the Kaffirs with the Indians I must confess I feel most strongly. I think it is very unfair to the Indian population, and it is an undue tax on even the proverbial patience of my countrymen.

Letter to Dr. Porter, Medical Officer of Health for Johannesburg, February 15, 1905.

An India awakened and free has a message of peace and goodwill to a groaning world.

Through realization of freedom of India, I hope to realize and carry on the mission of brotherhood of man.

Men, Brotherhood Of Man, India

Mahatma Gandhi, Judith M. Brown (2008). “The Essential Writings”, p.19, Oxford University Press

A general belief seems to prevail in the colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than the savages or natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir.

Children, Believe, Savages

Mohandas Karmchand Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi, V. Geetha (2004). “Soul Force: Gandhi's Writings on Peace”, p.25, Tara Publishing

Restraint never ruins one's health. What ruins it,is not restraint but outward suppression. A really self-restrained person grows every day from strength to strength and from peace to more peace. The very first step in self-restraint is the restraint of thoughts.

Self, Ruins, Firsts

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

My anekantavada is the result of the twin doctrines of satya and ahimsa.

God is not in Kaaba or in Kashi. He is within everyone of us.

Mahatma Gandhi (1967). “Collected Works”

Our aim is not to do things by violence to opponents.

Mahatma Gandhi (2012). “The Essential Gandhi: An Anthology of His Writings on His Life, Work, and Ideas”, p.218, Vintage

For thousands to do to death a few hundreds is no bravery. It is worse than cowardice. It is unworthy of nationalism, of any religion.

Bravery, Cowardice, Unworthy

Mahatma Gandhi (1958). “Collected Works”

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one's own religion.

Inspirational, Heart, Religion

Mahatma Gandhi (2014). “Freedom's Battle: Being a Comprehensive Collection of Writings and Speeches on the Present Situation”, p.114, The Floating Press

Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

Philosophical, Men, Religion

Mahatma Gandhi (1965). “Glorious Thoughts of Gandhi: Being a Treasury of about Ten Thousand Valuable and Inspiring Thougths of Mahatma Gandhi, Classified Under Four Hundred Subjects”

Human language can but imperfectly describe God's ways. I am sensible of the fact that they are indescribable and inscrutable. But if mortal man will dare to describe them, he has no better medium than his own inarticulate speech.

Men, Speech, Way

Mahatma Gandhi, Mohandas Gandhi, Homer A. Jack (2005). “The Wit and Wisdom of Gandhi”, p.27, Courier Corporation

Our duty is very simple and plain. We want to serve the community, and in our own humble way to serve the Empire. We believe in the righteousness of the cause, which it is our privilege to espouse. We have an abiding faith in the mercy of the Almighty God, and we have firm faith in the British Constitution. That being so, we should fail in our duty if we wrote anything with a view to hurt.

Hurt, Believe, Humble

Mahatma Gandhi (1960). “1903-1905”

Hinduism is a living organism. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. Knowledge is limitless and so also the application of truth. Everyday we add to our knowledge of the power of Atman (soul) and we shall keep on doing so.

Roots, Tree, Soul

I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.
