All MAHATMA GANDHI Quotes about “Compassion”

“It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.”
“There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.”
“Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.”
“Compassion is a muscle that gets stronger with use.”
“Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment.”
“Nonviolence means an ocean of compassion. It means shedding from us every trace of ill will for others. It does not mean abjectness or timidity, or fleeing in fear. It means, on the contrary, firmness of mind and courage, a resolute spirit.”
“History is replete with instances of men, who, by dying with courage and compassion on their lips converted the hearts of their violent opponents.”
“We should be able to refuse to live if the price of living be the torture of sentient beings.”
“The strength to kill is not essential for self-defense; one ought to have the strength to die. When a man is fully ready to die, he will not even desire to offer violence. Indeed, I may put it down as a self-evident proposition that the desire to kill is in inverse proportion to the desire to die. And history is replete with instances of men who by dying with courage and compassion on their lips converted the hearts of their violent opponents.”
