Gandhi on Happiness

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

Gandhi on Humanity

"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."

Gandhi on Destruction

"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 or democracy?"

Gandhi on Victory

"Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary."

Eye for an Eye

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."

Gandhi on Freedom

"Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right."

Gandhi on a Good Idea

"I think it would be a good idea."

Gandhi on Equality

"I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers."

Gandhi on Violence

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

Gandhi on Freedom

"I want freedom for the full expression of my personality."

Gandhi on Truth

"In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth."

Gandhi on Indolence

"Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy."

Gandhi on Impotence

"It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence."

Gandhi on Wisdom

"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."

Gandhi on Convictions

"One needs to be slow to form convictions, but once formed they must be defended against the heaviest odds."

Gandhi on Strength

"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."

Gandhi on Forgiveness

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

Gandhi on Insignificance

"Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."

Gandhi on Truth and Love

"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."

Gandhi on Change

"You must be the change you want to see in the world."

Gandhi on Sin

"Hate the sin, love the sinner."

Gandhi on Differences

"Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress."

Gandhi on Disagreement

"Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress."

Gandhi on Purity

"Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well."

Gandhi on Help and Comfort

"As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it."

Gandhi on Mistakes

"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes."

Gandhi on Happiness

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