Mahatma Gandhi Quotes

Sociability is as much a law of nature as mutual struggle. Mutual aid is as much a law of animal life as mutual struggle.

In the end, the aggressors always destroy themselves, making way for others who know how to cooperate and get along. Life is much less a competitive struggle for survival than a triumph of cooperation and creativity.

Any society begins by realizing that together, by helping each other, you can survive better than if you fight each other and compete with each other.

All species capable of grasping this fact manage better in the struggle for existence than those which rely upon their own strength alone: the wolf, which hunts in a pack, has a greater chance of survival than the lion, which hunts alone.

As human beings, we are only able to survive in dependence upon the co-operation, help and kindness of other fellow humans.

Loving behavior contributes to the group at the expense of the individual. Competition contributes to the survival of the individual at the expense of the group. In the garden of life, some people are more like flowers, and other people are more like weeds.

People always say there is competition in nature, but I think that because we are human, it's not only competition. Because we are human we have something other than competition - sharing, helping others, or being oneself. Competition is really kind of ugly.

No one can survive on their own. Thinking you can is ridiculous, especially going into the middle half of the 21st century. To think you can do it alone is just ridiculous.

We need each other to do things that we can't do for ourselves. If we are intimately connected with each other, we just give things to each other; if we don't know each other we find another way to handle it. If you think about it, each according to his or her abilities and each according to his or her needs is sort of the same thing as supply and demand.

To help all created things, that is the measure of all our responsibility; to be helped by all, that is the measure of our hope.

I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other.

Concord, solidarity, and mutual help are the most important means of enabling animal species to survive.

If necessity is the mother of invention, it's the father of cooperation. And we're cooperating like never before.

I like the idea of helping people help people.

People must help one another; it is nature's law.

People must help one another. It is nature's law.

If there is someone to haul the fir-tree, there shall be no shortage of those willing to hold a branch to help.

Whenever we make it over the threshold, we have to reach back and help others.

My success, literally, is your success figuratively.

People will help each other because there is a sense of camaraderie that springs up, which is a survival tactic. You help them because you know you might need their help later. And that is incredibly reassuring.

And if we're all one, we need to stop our competition with each other. Most of the decisions we make are about survival and winning.

We cannot walk alone.

As society is only possible if everyone, while living his own life, at the same time helps others to live; if every individual is simultaneously means and end; if each individual's well-being is simultaneously the condition necessary to the well-being of others, it is evident that the contrast between I and thou, means and end, automatically is overcome.

The mutual-aid tendency in man has so remote an origin, and is so deeply interwoven with all the past evolution of the human race, that is has been maintained by mankind up to the present time, notwithstanding all vicissitudes of history.

It is okay to ask for help. I give help when others need it, and ask for help when I need it.
