Mahatma Gandhi Death Quotations

Death is no fiend, he is the truest of friends. He delivers us from agony.

Death on the battlefield is welcome to a soldier.

To die in the act of killing is, in essence, to die defeated.

If we weep for all the deaths in our country, the tears in our eyes would never dry.

Where death without resistance or death after resistance is the only way, neither party should think of resorting to law-courts or help from the government.

What is imprisonment to the man who is fearless of death itself?

I came alone in this world, I have walked alone in the valley of the shadow of death, and I shall quit alone when the time comes.

History is replete with instances of men, who, by dying with courage and compassion on their lips converted the hearts of their violent opponents.

Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.

Man lives freely only by his readiness to die.

... in the midst of death life persists ...

Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state.

I cannot in all conscience agree to anyone being sent to the gallows. God alone can take life because He alone gives it . . .

In the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth, truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.

We do not know whether it is good to live or to die. Therefore, we should not take delight in living, nor should we tremble at the thought of death. We should be equiminded towards death. This is the ideal. It may be long before we reach it, and only a few of us can attain it. Even then, we must keep it constantly in view, and the more difficult it seems of attainment, the greater should be the effort we put forth.

The wise are unaffected either by death or life. These are but faces of the same coin.
