Gandhi 1869-1948
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble. A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes. A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.
A principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practise perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice. A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history. Action expresses priorities. Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching. I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another. As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.
I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers. Be the change that you want to see in the world. Healthy discontent is the prelude to progress. Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth. Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone. Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into. Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies. Fear has its use but cowardice has none. For me every ruler is a alien that defies public opinion.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living? Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it. Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.
A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act. A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion. A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness. I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world. Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession. Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith. Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.
Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts. But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac. Each one prays to God according to his own light. God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained. God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless. God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.
A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind. Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding. An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so. Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up. I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill. I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed. Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.
