QUOTATIONS FROM GANDHI-3

  1. The history of the world is full of men who rose to leadership, by sheer force of self-confidence, bravery and tenacity."
  2. I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.
  3. "A vow is fixed and unalterable determination to do a thing, when such a determination is related to something noble which can only uplift the man who makes the resolve."
  4. "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."
  5. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth and the soul requires inward restfulness to attain its full height.
  6. 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."
  7. "If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide."
  8. "Personally, I hold that a man, who deliberately and intelligently takes a pledge and then breaks it, forfeits his manhood."
  9. Monotony is the law of nature. Look at the monotonous manner in which the sun rises. The monotony of necessary occupation is exhilarating and life giving.
  10. "A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble."
  11. God comes to the hungry in the form of food.
  12. Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.
  13. Your capacity to keep your vow will depend on the purity of your life.
  14. The 7 Deadly Sins are: Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Business without morality, Science without humanity, Worship without sacrifice, Politics without principle
  15. A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
