There is more to life than increasing its speed. — Mahatma Gandhi | Printable Wall Art

“There is more to life than increasing its speed.”

Words by Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) — Indian independence leader and philosopher of nonviolence.

About this quote

This statement cautions against the modern rush to accomplish everything as quickly as possible. Gandhi suggests that true fulfilment comes from depth, presence, and purpose rather than constant haste. Unchecked speed often leads to distraction and exhaustion, whereas stepping back allows us to focus on what genuinely matters, such as community, contemplation, and moral integrity.

The quote reflects Mahatma Gandhi's lifelong critique of rapid industrialisation and modern haste. While widely attributed to his early twentieth-century writings and speeches on simple living, it became a core slogan for later slow-living movements.
