Some of the famous quotes by Mahatma Gandhi have been listed below :

  • Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
  • Fear is not a disease of the body; fear kills the soul.
  • The principle of majority does not work when differences on fundamentals are involved.
  • Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
  • It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress.
  • Whatever you do may be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.
Vande mataram


"Peace and Nonviolence"
