Quotations of Mahathma Gandhiji
Conscience
There are times when you have to obey a call which is the highest of all, i.e. the voice of conscience even though such obedience may cost many a bitter tear, and even more, separation from friends, from family, from the state, to which you may belong, from all that you have held as dear as life itself. For this obedience is the law of our being.
Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.
Don’t listen to friends when the Friend inside you says “Do this.”
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within.
The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience.
There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supersedes all other courts.
We may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Never has man reached his destination by persistence in deviation from the straight path.
Self-respect known no considerations.
Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be read must be unaffected by outside circumstances.
