To commemorate his 152nd Birthday, some words of truth and power from Mahatma Gandhi:
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it—always.
The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still small voice within.
The weak can never forgive, forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
Where there is love there is life.
In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul.
Be the change that you want to see in the world.
A man is but a product of his thoughts. What he thinks he becomes.
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.
In a gentle way, you can shake the world.
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.
