Ghandi Quotations
By way of remembering the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi, some of his famous
quotations are reproduced:
1. Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always
aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. As long as
you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it.
2. It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to
be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
3. Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to
make mistakes.
4. Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are
in harmony.
5. Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is
momentary. What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the
homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism
or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
6. Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress. Honest disagreement
is often a good sign of progress.
7. I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.
8. I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good
is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent
9. It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than
to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence.
10. In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light,
and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness.
Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.
11. One needs to be slow to form convictions, but once formed they must
be defended against the heaviest odds.
12. The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
13. You must be the change you want to see in the world. (originally
Aboriginal philosophy)
14. You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few
drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
15. Hate the sin, love the sinner.
