The name "Gandhi" is synonymous with peace and non-violence. His epic struggle to bring together the people of India in their search for sovereignty is unparalleled. This great man's wisdom and foresight are compelling. On this page, you will find some of the most powerful Gandhi quotes.

1.The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

2. What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?

3. The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within.

4. It may be long before the law of love will be recognised in international affairs. The machineries of government stand between and hide the hearts of one people from those of another.

5. As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance, cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side.

6. There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.

7. We must be the change we wish to see.

8. The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

9. The moment there is suspicion about a person's motives, everything he does becomes tainted.

10. Suffering cheerfully endured, ceases to be suffering and is transmuted into an ineffable joy.

11. It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

12. Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

13. I love your Christ. I don't like your Christians, because they're not like Christ.

14. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

15. Hate the sin, love the sinner.

16. I want freedom for the full expression of my personality.

17. Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.

18. Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

19. Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

20. Permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence.

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