Mahatma Gandhi
I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.
A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members.
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
I believe in the essential unity of all that lives. Therefore, I believe that if one person gains spiritually, the whole world gains, and that if one person falls, the whole world falls to that extent.
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.
Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make, not only our own happiness, but that of the world at large.
I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stifled. I want all the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.
When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes irresistible.
It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there will be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.
We must become the change we want to see in the world.
Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment.
Where there is love there is life.
I claim to be an average man of less than average ability. I have not the shadow of a doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith.
Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment; full effort is full victory.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world, that is the myth of the atomic age -- as in being able to remake ourselves.
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes.
