Mahatma Gandhi best quotes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gandhi best quotes, aphorisms, maxims, ideas, thoughts and words of wisdom by the mythical hero of non-violent protest, true religiosity and Indian independence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mahatma Gandhi is revered the world over as one of history\u2019s most transformative and inspirational figures. Throughout his life in South Africa and India, Gandhi was a fearless campaigner for the rights and dignity of all people, whose constant and unwavering promotion of non-violence as a tool to win over hearts and minds has forever left its mark on the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the man known today for his calm, courage and compassion in the face of oppression was not always comfortable before the crowds. Born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in Porbandar, India in 1869 \u2014 he was later nicknamed \u201cMahatma,\u201d for \u201cgreat soul\u201d \u2014 the spiritual leader and father of Indian independence in fact suffered for much of his life from an acute fear of public speaking. Gandhi\u2019s glossophobia, as it\u2019s known, was so severe that when he faced a judge for his first court case as a young lawyer, he froze and fled from the courtroom in a panic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over time, Gandhi managed not only to overcome his fears, but to turn them to his advantage. His unease at speaking made him an excellent listener, whose humility and empathy allowed him to channel the dreams and aspirations of the masses. His hesitancy with words taught him the power of saying more with less – and today, these words, inflected with the heart and wisdom that have made him an international icon, continue to inspire countless millions across the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it.

They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.<\/span>
\nMahatma Gandhi<\/span><\/p>\n

\nMahatma Gandhi<\/span><\/p>\n

Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our very being.<\/span>

Pen to a war resister to judge between the combatants and wish success to the one who has justice on his side. By so judging he is more likely to bring peace between the two than by remaining a mere spectator.<\/span>

It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity.<\/span>

\nMahatma Gandhi<\/span><\/p>\n

Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph: a beginning, a struggle, and a victory.<\/span>

I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.<\/span>
\nMahatma Gandhi<\/span><\/p>\n

Monotony is the law of nature. Look at the monotonous manner in which the sun rises. The monotony of necessary occupation is exhilarating and life giving.<\/span>
\nMahatma Gandhi<\/span><\/p>\n

I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.<\/span>
\nMahatma Gandhi<\/span><\/p>\n
