Quotations - Mahatma Gandhiji
An eye for an eye would leave the world blind.
I do not want my house to be walled in on sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
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 and democracy?

There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.
We must be the change we wish to see.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
The moment there is suspicion about a person’s motives, everything he does becomes tainted.
Suffering cheerfully endured, ceases to be suffering and is transmuted into an ineffable joy.
