Mahatma Gandhi Great Thoughts

Mahātmā Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an Indian activist who was the leader of the Indian independence movement against British rule.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869  to a Hindu Modh Baniya family in Porbandar (also known as Sudamapuri), a coastal town on the Kathiawar Peninsula and then part of the small princely state of Porbandar in the Kathiawar Agency of the Indian Empire. His father, Karamchand Uttamchand Gandhi (1822–1885), served as the diwan (chief minister) of Porbandar state.



Gandhiji led his life in the most inspirational manner and that is why he has inspired so many generations and is still doing so. Below are some of his most popular quotes.



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

“A man is but a product of his thoughts. What he thinks he becomes.”

“Be the change that you want to see in the world.”

“The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problem.”

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.”

“I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.”

“Whatever you do will be insignificent. But it is very important that you do it.”

“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”

Relationships are based on four principles: respect, understanding, acceptance and appreciation.

“An ounce of patience is worth more than a tonne of preaching.”

“Change yourself – you are in control.”

“As human begins, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world- that is the myth of the atomic age- as in being able to remake ourselves.

“See the good in people and help them.”

“Without action, you aren’t going anywhere.”

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

“Take care of this moment.”

“Be congruent, be authentic, be your true self.”

Strength does not come from winning. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

“To believe in something, and not live it, is dishonest.”

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
“Continue to grow and evolve.”

“A no uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘Yes’ uttered merely to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.”

“Glory lies in the attempt to reach one’s goal and not in reaching it.”

“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”

"An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.”

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

“It is my conviction that nothing enduring can be built on violence.”

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

“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”

Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.


“There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.”


“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.”
