Gandhi Quotes

Mahatma Gandhi is quoted almost everyday in India by politicians, social leaders, activists, teachers, cultural societies, and social workers; even an ordinary citizen would be quoting Gandhiji without knowing that it was the Father of the Nation who once said that. Mahatma Gandhi quotes are everywhere; on government and private office walls as the motto of the company or as a guiding principle, on school notice boards as inspiring thought of the day, on notebook covers, on roadside display boards, in newspapers and magazines, and many other media.

Gandhi quotes provide insight into the thoughts and ideals of Mahatma Gandhi; his views on life, politics, freedom, world peace, non-violence, struggle, resistance, work, ethics, religion, faith, spirituality, purity, self realisation, truth, jealousy, obligation, love, trust, obedience, courage, culture, tradition, poverty, apartheid, discrimination, untouchability, and other aspects and realms of life reflect the personality of a simple man who lived life according to his principles and found happiness in the service of the downtrodden.

Some of the famous quotes by Gandhi are: Ahimsa is the highest ideal. It is meant for the brave, never for the cowardly; The power of unarmed non-violence is any day far superior to that of armed force; Be the change you want to see in this world; Indolence is a delightful but distressing state, we must be doing something to be happy; It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err; Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it; You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean, if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty; Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary; Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress; If you don't ask, you don't get; Action for one's own self binds, action for the sake of others delivers from bondage; What is faith worth if it is not translated into action?; You assist an administration most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil administration never deserves such allegiance.

There are many books and publications exclusively for Gandhi quotes; several internet sites also provide a vast database of the quotes by Mahatma Gandhi; quotes on Mahatma Gandhi by others are also available from these resources.
