Mahatma Gandhi Giving Up Quotations

He who gives up action falls. He who gives up the reward rises. But renunciation of fruit in no way means indifference to the result.

The highest fulfillment of religion requires a giving up of all possessions.

A man can give up a right, but he may not give up a duty without being guilty of a grave dereliction.

What is wanted is a deliberate giving up of violence out of strength.

There is nothing on earth that I would not give up, excepting of course, two things and two things only, truth and nonviolence.

... man was not born a carnivorous animal, but born to live on the fruits and herbs that the earth grows. I know we must all err. I would give up milk if I could, but I cannot.

But the basis of my vegetarianism is not physical, but moral. If anybody said that I should die if I did not take beef tea or mutton, even on medical advice, I would prefer death. That is the basis of my vegetarianism.

If we take care of the means, we are bound to reach the end sooner or later. When once we have grasped this point, final victory is beyond question. Whatever difficulties we encounter, whatever apparent reverses we sustain, we may not give up the quest for truth.
