“About the same time I came in contact with another Christian family. At their suggestion I attended the Wesleyan church every Sunday. For these days I also had their standing invitation to dinner. The church did not make a favourable impression on me. The sermons seemed to be uninspiring. The congregation did not strike me as being particularly religious. They were not an assembly of devout souls; they appeared rather to be wordly-minded people, going to church for recreation and in conformity to custom. Here, at times, I would involuntarily doze. I was ashamed, but some of my neighbours, who were in no better case, lightened the shame. I could not go on long like this, and soon gave up attending the service.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“To safeguard democracy the people must have a keen sense of independence, self-respect and their oneness, and should insist upon choosing as their representatives only such persons as are good and true.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“I think it is wrong to expect certainties in this world, where all else but God, that is Truth, is an uncertainty.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“The useful and the useless must, like good and evil generally, go on together, and man must make his choice.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“True beauty after all consists in purity of heart.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“How heavy is the toll of sins and wrongs that wealth, power and prestige exact from man!”

Mahatma Gandhi

“Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“I realised that in refusing to take a vow man was drawn into temptation, and that to be bound by a vow was like a passage from libertinism to a real monogamous marriage. “I believe in effort, I do not want to bind myself with vows,” is the mentality of weakness and betrays a subtle desire for the thing to be avoided. Or where can be the difficulty in making a final decision? I vow to flee from the serpent which I know will bite me, I do not simply make an effort to flee from him. I know that mere effort may mean certain death. Mere effort means ignorance of the certain fact that the serpent is bound to kill me. The fact, therefore, that I could rest content with an effort only, means that I have not yet clearly realised the necessity of definite action. “But supposing my views are changed in the future, how can I bind myself by a vow?” Such a doubt often deters us. But that doubt also betrays a lack of clear perception that a particular thing must be renounced.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“Do your allotted work but renounce its fruit—be detached and work—have no desire for reward and work.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“A vakil should know human nature. He should be able to read a man’s character from his face. And every Indian ought to know Indian history.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“I have from my experience come to the conclusion that Gita has been composed to teach this one truth which I have explained. We can follow truth only in the measure that we shed our attachment to the ego.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“Men flocked to see it and ascended it as it was a novelty and of unique dimensions. It was the toy of the exhibition. So long as we are children we are attracted by toys, and the tower was a good demonstration of the fact that we are all children attracted by trinkets. That may be claimed to be the purpose served by the Eiffel Tower.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.”

Mahatma Gandhi
