Quotes by Mahatma Gandhi

In fact, it is more correct to say that Truth is God, than to say that God is Truth.

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does the truth become error because nobody will see it. 1924-1926)

Theres no God higher than truth.

Truth should be the very breath of our life. When once this state in the pilgrims progress is reached, all other rules of correct living will come without any effort, and obedience to them will be instinctive.

God has no religion.

Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:- I shall not fear anyone on Earth. - I shall fear only God. - I shall not bear ill will toward anyone. - I shall not submit to injustice from anyone. - I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.

When every hope is gone, when helpers fail and comforts flee, I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.

It is unwise to be too sure of ones own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.

Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

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

To believe that what has not occurred in history will not occur at all, is to argue disbelief in the dignity of man.

Intellect takes us along in the battle of life to a certain limit, but at the crucial moment it fails us. Faith transcends reason. It is when the horizon is the darkest and human reason is beaten down to the ground that faith shines brightest and comes to our rescue.

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

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless a creature the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of humankind.

All humanity is one undivided and indivisible family. I cannot detach myself from the wickedest soul.
