All Truth quotes Mahatma Gandhi’s page

Mahatma Gandhi says truth is the core of his quest for self‑rule and non‑violence, and that it lives inside each person rather than in titles. He believes an error never becomes true, even if repeated, while truth never errs, even when no one hears it. He also links the power of love to the power of truth.
