Notable quotes

“Ours is one continual struggle against a degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the Europeans, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir whose occupation is hunting, and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with and, then, pass his life in indolence and nakedness.”
— Address given in Bombay (26 September 1896), Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, Vol. 1, p. 410 (Electronic Book), New Delhi, Publications Division Government of India, 1999, 98 volumes.
“The only tyrant I accept in this world is the "still small voice" within me. And even though I have to face the prospect of being a minority of one, I humbly believe I have the courage to be in such a hopeless minority.”
— In Young India (2 March 1922). Quoted in The Essential Gandhi: An Anthology of His Writings on His Life, Work, and Ideas edited by Louis Fischer (2002), p. 160.
“"If an entire nation of 300 millions took to similar economic exploitation, it would strip the world bare like locusts."”
— Young India, 29 November 1928, Also found in The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, Vol. 38, p. 243.
“I have always held that social justice, even to the least and lowliest, is impossible of attainment by force.”
— Harijan (20 April 1940) p. 97
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
— Gandhi: His Life and Message for the World (1954), by Louis Fischer, p. 177
“Gandhi on many occasions declared himself an anarchist — of his own kind — and he created, partly from his readings of Tolstoy and Kropotkin and partly on the basis of Indian communitarian traditions, the plan of a decentralized society based on autonomous village communes.”
— George Woodcock, in Anarchism: A History of Libertarian Ideas and Movements (1962) Postscript (July 1973)
