Quotes from Gandhi
Compiled by C.D. Deshmukh I am conscious of my own limitations. That consciousness is my only strength. My life is an indivisible whole, and all my activities run into one another; and they all have their rise in my insatiable love of mankind. I have in my life never been guilty of saying things I did not mean - my nature is to go straight to the heart and if often I fail in doing so for the time being, I know that Truth ultimately makes itself heard and felt, as it has often done in my experience. I believe in the absolute oneness of God and, therefore, also of humanity. I have always believed God to be without form. What I did hear was like a Voice from afar, and yet quite near. Like every other faculty, this faculty for listening to the still small voice within requires previous effort and training, perhaps greater than what is required for the acquisition of any other faculty, and even if out of thousands of claimants only a few succeed in establishing their claim, it is well worth running the risk having and tolerating doubtful claimants. from Gamtano Kariye Gulal, compiled by Balvant K. Parekh
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. The most heinous and the most cruel crimes of which history has record have been committed under the cover of religion or equally noble motives. from the movie "Gandhi" directed by Sir Richard Attenborough Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mighter than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man. Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. A nation that is capable of limitless sacrifice is capable of rising to limitless heights. The purer the sacrifice the quicker the progress. Truth is God and God is truth. Where there is love, there is life; hatred leads to destruction. Truth, purity, self-control, firmness, fearlessness, humility, unity, peace, and renunciation - these are the inherent qualities of a civil resister. Non-cooperation is a protest against an unwitting and unwilling participation in evil. You will eat not to satisfy your palate but your hunger. A self-indulgent man lives to eat; a self-restrained man eats to live. Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress. Love is the strongest force the world possesses, and yet is the humblest imaginable. It does not require money to be neat, clean and dignified. Cowards can never be moral. To forget how to dig the earth and tend the soil is to forget ourselves. |
