Gandhi's Teachings

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

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

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world”

A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever”

It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity

“Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory”

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it

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

“Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession”

“A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble”

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong

Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy

“A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act”

“The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems”

Action expresses priorities
