Mahatma Gandhi Quotes about Nature

  • Monotony is the law of nature. Look at the monotonous manner in which the sun rises. The monotony of necessary occupation is exhilarating and life giving.
  • A person is bound to work in obedience to and in conformity to that person's own nature.
  • Nothing is of a permanent nature.
  • Enter with me into the sufferings, not only of the people of India but of the whole world. Nonviolence is a more active and real fight against wickedness than retaliation whose very nature is to increase wickedness. It is not a weapon of the weak. It is a weapon of the strongest and bravest.
  • Woman is, by habit or nature, queen of the household. She is not designed to organize on a large scale.
