Action A man is the sum of his actions, of what he has done, of what he can do, Nothing else. Ask If you don't ask, you don't get. Change We must become the change we want to see. Conflict To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest. Coward and Cowardice Cowards can never be moral. Despair When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS. Faith Non-violence is the article of faith. Forgiveness The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Friends and Friendship It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business. Hatred Hatred can be overcome only by love. Humor If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide. Jesus Christ 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. Love Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love. Marriage I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage. Patience Patience means self-suffering. Poverty and The Poor Poverty is the worst form of violence. Prayer Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared. Quality It is the quality of our work which will please God and not the quantity. Revenge An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind. Self-confidence The history of the world is full of men who rose to leadership, by sheer force of self-confidence, bravery and tenacity. Service The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. Teachers and Teaching Those who know how to think need no teachers. Truth Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected. Unity Unity to be real must stand the severest strain without breaking. Vow Personally, I hold that a man, who deliberately and intelligently takes a pledge and then breaks it, forfeits his manhood. Will and Will Power Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
by:
Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi
