QUOTATIONS FROM GANDHI-4

  1. I claim to be an average man of less than average ability. I have not the shadow of a doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith."
  2. Purity of mind and idleness are incompatible.
  3. I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.
  4. We must be the change we wish to see in the world.
  5. Fear has its use but cowardice has none.
  6. I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.
  7. "The outward freedom that we shall attain will only be in exact proportion to the inward freedom to which we may have grown at a given moment. And if this is a correct view of freedom, our chief energy must be concentrated on achieving reform from within."
  8. Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy. Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.
  9. "A man is the sum of his actions, of what he has done, of what he can do, Nothing else."
  10. "In this age of the rule of brute force, it is almost impossible for anyone to believe that any one else could possibly reject the law of the final supremacy of brute force."
  11. If Christians would really live according to the teachings of Christ, as found in the Bible, all of India would be Christian today."
  12. Freedom and slavery are mental states.
  13. "Almost anything you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."
  14. All business depends upon men fulfilling their responsibilities.
  15. "There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever."
