gand Quotes Quote # 65 Power invariably elects to go into the hands of the strong. That strength may be physical or of the heart or, if we do not fight shy of the word, of the spirit.

gandhi Quotes Quote # 92 Man has reason, discrimination and free-will such as it is. The brute has no such thing.

gandhi Quotes Quote # 106 It is the law of love that rules mankind. Had violence, i.e. hate, ruled us we should have become extinct long ago. And yet, the tragedy of it is that the so-called civilized men and nations conduct themselves as if the basis of society was violence.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 107 It is quite proper to resist and attack a system, but to resist and attack its author is tantamount to resisting and attacking oneself, for we are all tarred with the same brush, and are children of one and the same Creator, an as such the divine powers within us are infinite. To slight a single human being, is to slight those divine powers and thus to harm not only that Being, but with Him, the whole world.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 108 It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 109 It is man's social nature which distinguishes him from the brute creation. If it is his privilege to be independent, it is equy his duty to be inter-dependent. Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 110 It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may. We are never able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us. This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good heart whatever they might have to say.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 111 It is foolish to that by fleeing one can trick the dread god of death. Let us treat him as a beneficent angel rather than a dread god. We must face and welcome him whenever he comes.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 112 It is easy enough to say, 'I do not believe in God.' For God permits all things to be said of Him with impunity. He looks at our acts. And any breach of His Law carries with it not its vindictive, but its purifying, compelling elf a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 116 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 faithnes brightest and comes to our rescue.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 117 Insistence on truth can come into play when one party practises untruth or injustice. Only then can love be tested. Truriendship is put to the test only when one party disregards the obligation of friendship.

gandhi Quotes Quote # 125 I worship God as Truth only. I have not yet found Him, but I am seeking after Him. I am prepared to sacrifice the things dearest to me in pursuit of this quest. Even if the sacrifice demanded my very life, I hope I may prepared to give it.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 126 I will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God's creation, woman, the object of our lust.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 127 I want to see Inda free in my life-time. But God may not consider me fit enough to see the dream of my life fulfilled. Then I shall quarrel, not with Him but with myself.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 128 I saw that nations like individuals could only be made through the agony of the Cross and in no other way. Joy comenot out of infliction of pain on others but out of pain voluntarily borne by oneself.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 129 I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 130 I need no inspirtion other then Nature's. She has never failed me yet. She mystifies me, bewilders me, sends me into ecstasies. Besides God's handiwork, does not man's fade into insignificance?
gandhi Quotes Quote # 131 I may live withot air and water, but not without Him. You may pluck out my eyes, but that cannot kill me. You may chop off my nose but that will not kill me. But blast my belief in God, and I am dead.

gandhi Quotes Quote # 134 I have worshipped woman as the living embodiment of the spirit of service and sacrifice.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 135 I have not the sdow of a doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith. Work without faith is like an attempt to reach the botto of a bottomless pit.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 136 I have found by experience that man makes his plans to be often upset by God, but, at the same time, where the ultimate goal is the search of truth, no matter how a man's plans are frustrated the issue is never injurious and often better then anticipated.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 137 I have but shadowed forth my intense longing to lose myself in the Eternal and become merely a lump of clay in the Potter's divine hands so that my service may become more certain because uninterrupted by the baser seln me.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 138 I have been a willing slave to this most exacting Master fr more then half a century. His voice has been increasingly audible as years have rolled by.

gandhi Quotes Quote # 140 I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any. I refuse live in other people's houses as an interloper, a beggar or a slave.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 141 I do not want any tronage, as I do not give any. I am a lover of my own liberty, and so I would do nothing to restrict yours. I simply want to please my own conscience, which is God.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 142 I do dimly perceihat whilst everything around me is ever-changing, ever-dying, there is underlying all that change a living Power that is changeless, that holds all together, that creates, dissolves and recreates.

gandhi Quotes Quote # 145 I believe that cuning is not only morally wrong but also politically inexpedient, and have therefore always discountenanced its use even from the practical standpoint.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 146 I believe in theruggling 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 the pain of it is a positive pleasure to me. Each step upwards makes me feel stronger and fit for the next.
gandhi Quotes Quote # 148 Humility cannot be an observance by itself. For, it does not lend itself to being deliberately practised. It is, however, an indispensable test of 'Ahimsa.' For one who has 'Ahimsa' in him it becomes part of his verynature.
