Mahatma Gandhi

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

Poverty is the worst form of violence.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

I realized that it was not as easy to commit suicide as to contemplate it. And since then, whenever I have heard of someone threatening to commit suicide, it has had little or no effect on me.

If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.

Seek not greater wealth, but simpler pleasure; not higher fortune, but deeper felicity.

What barrier is there that love cannot break?

Ask the poor. They'll tell you who the christians are.

The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful then a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

Stoning prophets and erecting churches to their memory afterwards has been the way of the world through the ages. Today we worship Christ, but the Christ in the flesh we crucified.

My Life is My Message

I cannot conceive of a greater loss than the loss of one's self-respect.

You don't know who is important to you until you actually lose them.

The inner voice is something which cannot be described in words. But sometimes we have a positive feeling that something in us prompts us to do a certain thing. The time when I learnt to recognise this voice was, I may say, the time when I started praying regularly.

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.

To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.

The future depends on what we do in the present.

The future depends on what you do today.
