Mahatma Gandhi

Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.

Fear has its use but cowardice has none.

God cannot be realized through the intellect. Intellect can lead one to a certain extent and no further. It is a matter of faith and experience derived from that faith.

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.

God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

Where love is, there God is also.

Sense perceptions can be and often are false and deceptive, however real they may appear to us. Where there is realization outside the senses, it is infallible. It is proved not by extraneous evidence but in the transformed conduct and character of those who have felt the real presence of God within.

I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.

A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

Do not worry in the least about yourself, leave all worry to God,' - this appears to be the commandment in all religions. This need not frighten anyone. He who devotes himself to service with a clear conscience, will day by day grasp the necessity for it in greater measure, and will continually grow richer in faith. The path of service can hardly be trodden by one who is not prepared to renounce self-interest, and to recognize the conditions of his birth. Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make not only for our own happiness but that of the world at large.

Man is supposed to be the maker of his destiny. It is only partly true. He can make his destiny, only in so far as he is allowed by the Great Power.

A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.

I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.

A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.
