Gandhi’s Most Famous Quotes On Humanity, Peace, And Nonviolence

ADVERTISEMENT

Peaceful words, powerful actions. This is how Mahatma Gandhi was able to unite millions of people and lead India toward freedom. He’s undoubtedly recognized as the father of the nonviolence movement and one of the most influential people in history, but also as a soft-spoken man with a great sense of humor, loved for his composure and humble simplicity. Gandhi’s courage was unshakable, even in the face of some of the most brutal forms of oppression ever documented. His commitment to nonviolence as a means of achieving justice is as relevant today as it was in his time.

So many of Gandhi’s quotes are still widely used to inspire people worldwide to live their lives with selfless service, empathy, and genuine love. We could write a book with all the powerful yet quirky words Gandhi has shared with the world, but for now, we’ve collected them here! If you’re in need of some wise words, these most famous quotes by Gandhi will bring you some deserved peace of mind.
