Nothing is so aggravating as calmness. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha thrives on repression till at last the repressor is tired of it and the object of satyagraha is gained. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Without satyagraha carried out in the proper spirit, there is no victory, no Swaraj. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Even as satyagraha is a weapon unique of its kind and not one of the ordinary weapons used by people, so is Khadi, a unique article of commerce which will not, cannot, succeed on terms common to other articles. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
As a young man in South Africa at the beginning of the twentieth century, Gandhi developed satyagraha, a mode of political activism based upon moral persuasion, while mobilizing South Africa's small Indian minority against racial discrimination. ~ Pankaj Mishra
Satyagraha quotes by Pankaj Mishra
It is claimed for satyagraha that it is a complete substitute for violence or war. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
For us, not cooperating in the monopoly regimes of intellectual property rights and patents and biodiversity - saying "no" to patents on life, and developing intellectual ideas of resistance - is very much a continuation of Gandhian satyagraha. It is, for me, keeping life free in its diversity. ~ Vandana Shiva
Satyagraha quotes by Vandana Shiva
Satyagraha is search for Truth, and God is Truth. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Jail-going is only the beginning, not the end of satyagraha. The acme of satyagraha for us would be to lay down our lives for the defence of India's just cause. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
A satyagrahi loves his so-called enemy even as he loves his friend. He has no enemy. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
In the application of Satyagraha, I discovered, in the earliest stages, that pursuit of Truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy. For, what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of Truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent but one's own self. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The satyagrahi general has to obey his inner voice, for over and above the situation outside he examines himself constantly and listens to the dictates of the inner self. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Not those who shout 'satyagraha', 'satyagraha' will do satyagraha, but those who will work for it. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Non-co-operation and civil disobedience are but different branches of the same tree called satyagraha. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The fight of satyagraha is for the strong in spirit, not the doubter or the timid. Satyagraha teaches us the art of living as well as dying. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha means insistence on what one knows to be the truth. The insistence implies the exercise of free will as the need of social obligation. If one is content to know the truth himself, he does not become a votary of Satyagraha. A Satyagrahi should not only know the truth but should insist upon it in social relations. So Satyagraha is activation of truthfulness. ~ Goparaju Ramachandra Rao
Satyagraha quotes by Goparaju Ramachandra Rao
For a satyagrahi brigade only those are eligible who believe in ahimsa and satya. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
You are no Satyagrahi if you remain silent or passive spectators while your enemy is being done to death. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
It means that we must abandon the method of civil disobedience, non-cooperation and satyagraha. When there was no way left for constitutional methods for achieving economic and social objectives, there was a great deal of justification for unconstitutional methods. But where constitutional methods are open, there can be no justification for these unconstitutional methods. These methods are nothing but the Grammar of Anarchy and the sooner they are abandoned, the better for us. ~ B.R. Ambedkar
Satyagraha quotes by B.R. Ambedkar
A satyagrahi is sometimes bound to use language which is capable of two meanings, provided both the meanings are obvious and necessary and there is no intention to deceive anyone. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha is a relentless search for truth and a determination to search truth. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
My satyagrahi spirit tells me that I may not retaliate. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha does not begin and end with civil disobedience. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha does not depend on outside help, it derives all its strength from within. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha is itself an unmistakable mute prayer of an agonized soul. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
But I could not for the life of me find out a new name, and therefore offered a nominal prize through Indian Opinion to the reader who made the best suggestion on the subject. As a result Maganlal Gandhi coined the word Sadagraha (Sat: truth, Agraha: firmness) and won the prize. But in order to make it clearer I changed the word to Satyagraha which has since become current in Gujarati as a designation for the struggle. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha, of which civil resistance is but a part, is to me the universal law of life. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha as conceived by me is a science in the making. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Final Satyagraha is inconceivable without an honorable peace between the several communities composing the Indian nation. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
A genuine satyagraha should never excite contempt in the opponent even when it fails to command regard or respect. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha is a purely spiritual weapon. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
In the dictionary of satyagraha, there is no enemy. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha is the pursuit of truth. My grandfather believed that truth should be the cornerstone of everybody's life and that we must dedicate our lives to pursuing truth, to finding out the truth in our lives. And so his entire philosophy was the philosophy of life. It was not just a philosophy for conflict resolution, but something that we have to imbibe in our life and live it all the time so that we can improve and become better human beings. ~ Arun Manilal Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Arun Manilal Gandhi
A satyagrahi cannot go to law for a personal wrong. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Gandhi, convinced of the power of satyagraha, suggested that it be used by the Jews against the Nazis. In response, Martin Buber – who had earlier (1930) written that much could be learned from Gandhi – said that this method could not be used against the Nazis. It is one thing to use nonviolent methods against those who would deprive you of some material benefit, but if their basic aim is to deprive you of life itself, how can you resist nonviolently? ~ Nel Noddings
Satyagraha quotes by Nel Noddings
The two came to differ on many, if not most, issues. But the man who would single-handedly defy Hitler in 1940 against all odds bears a striking resemblance to the man who organized the first satyagraha campaign in South Africa. ~ Arthur Herman
Satyagraha quotes by Arthur Herman
A satyagrahi is dead to his body even before the enemy attempts to kill him. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
A satyagrahi has always his minimum and it is this minimum that is wanted in connection with this struggle. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
A satyagrahi may not ride two horses, truth and untruth, at the same time, nor, to change the metaphor, trim his sail to catch every breeze as you do in the name of communism. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
I regard the constituent assembly as the substitute ofsatyagraha. It is constructive satyagraha. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
To be equitable, economic growth has to be sustainable. To be sustainable, economic growth has in turn to be all-inclusive. All-inclusive is no longer the greatest good of the greatest number. It is actually Sarvodaya or the rise of all. This Mahatma Gandhi saw as essential to Satyagraha itself. ~ Sonia Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Sonia Gandhi
Violence is a concession to human weakness, satyagraha is an obligation. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
A satyagrahi has infinite patience, abundant faith in others, and ample hope. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha is an attribute of the spirit within. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The mantra of independence was Satyagraha. And the warriors were Satyagrahis. The mantra of New Age India must be Swachhagrah. And the warriors will be Swachhagrahis. ~ Narendra Modi
Satyagraha quotes by Narendra Modi
Satyagraha has been designed as an effective substitute for violence. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha is a process of educating public opinion, such that it covers all the elements of the society and in the end makes itself irresistible. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Satyagraha quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The insistence on truthfulness does not disturb the freedom of the individual. The social obligation implied in Satyagraha turns the freedom of the individual into moral freedom. An atheist is free to say or to do what he likes, provided he does what he says and says what he does. So, in the context of social relations, the freedom of the individual is moral freedom. ~ Goparaju Ramachandra Rao
Satyagraha quotes by Goparaju Ramachandra Rao
Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat for it is momentary.
(Satyagraha Leaflet No. 13, 3 May 1919) ~ Mahatma Gandhi
