a man named GANDHI



I have been reading a lot about Gandhi lately. I am intrigued by his life and mission and the words he spoke. He was an interesting man filled with wisdom and passion, both admirable qualities. Here are a few of his priceless quotes that I especially love.
ENJOY:


-Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.

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

-Be the change that you want to see in the world.

-Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.

-A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.

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

-I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.

-If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.

-Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.

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

-Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.

-Peace is its own reward.

-Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.

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

-The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

-The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

-Where there is love there is life.
