"Live each day as if it were..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“Good travels at a snail's pace. Those who want to do good are not selfish, they are not in a hurry, they know that to impregnate people with good requires a long time.”

“Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something. You disturb the air as you go forward, you disturb the dust, the ground. You trample upon things. When a whole society moves forward, this trampling is on a much bigger scale; and each thing that you disturb, each vested interest which you want to remove, stands as an obstacle.”

“Nonviolence is the virtue of the manly. The coward is innocent of it.”

“My life has been happy because I have had wonderful friends and plenty of interesting work to do.”

“You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across, not just to depict life, or criticize it, but to actually make it alive.”

“Critical acumen is exerted in vain to uncover the past; the past cannot be presented; we cannot know what we are not. But one veilhangs over past, present, and future, and it is the province of the historian to find out, not what was, but what is. Where a battle has been fought, you will find nothing but the bones of men and beasts; where a battle is being fought, there are hearts beating.”

“It is always the nearest, plainest and simplest principles that learned men comprehend last.”

“True teaching cannot be learned from text-books any more than a surgeon can acquire his skill by reading about surgery.”

“I have always said to my pupils: "Learn as much as you can about symbolism; then forget it when you are analyzing a dream."”
