Some Quotes of Mahatma Gandhi
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
My life is my message.
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
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.
When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
Where there is love there is life.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
