“I realised that in refusing to take a vow man was drawn into temptation, and that to be bound by a vow was like a passage from libertinism to a real monogamous marriage. “I believe in effort, I do not want to bind myself with vows,” is the mentality of weakness and betrays a subtle desire for the thing to be avoided. Or where can be the difficulty in making a final decision? I vow to flee from the serpent which I know will bite me, I do not simply make an effort to flee from him. I know that mere effort may mean certain death. Mere effort means ignorance of the certain fact that the serpent is bound to kill me. The fact, therefore, that I could rest content with an effort only, means that I have not yet clearly realised the necessity of definite action. “But supposing my views are changed in the future, how can I bind myself by a vow?” Such a doubt often deters us. But that doubt also betrays a lack of clear perception that a particular thing must be renounced.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“You yourself as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve love and affection.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“Whatever a man sows, that shall he reap.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“What is described is the conflict within the human body between opposing moral tendencies, which are imagined as distinct figures. A seer such as Vyasa would never concern himself with a description of mere physical fighting. It is the human body that is described as Kurukshetra, as dharmakshetra9 . The epithet may also mean that for a Kshatriya a battlefield is always a fi eld of dharma. Surely a fi eld on which the Pandavas too were present could not be altogether a place of sin.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“Change en toi ce que tu veux changer dans le monde.”

“In doing something, do it with love or never do it at all.”

“Liberty and democracy become unholy when their hands are dyed red with innocent blood.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“What lies ahead of you & what lies behind you is nothing compared to what lies within you.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“I must confess that here I had to compromise the principle of giving no commission, which in Bombay I had so scrupulously observed. I was told that conditions in the two cases were different; that whilst in Bombay commissions had to be paid to touts, here they had to be paid to vakils who briefed you; and that here as in Bombay all barristers, without exception, paid a percentage of their fees as commission.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“Hate the sin, love the sinner.” 

Mahatma Gandhi

“Live simply so that others may simply live.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“The aim of the sinless One lies in not doing evil unto those who have done evil unto him.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“If we are unmanly today, we are so, not because we do not know how to strike, but because we fear to die.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“But here the physical battle is only an occasion for describing the battlefield that is the human body.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful then a thousand heads bowing in prayer.”

Mahatma Gandhi
