"Sorrow and suffering make for character if..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“We cannot, in a moment, get rid of habits of a lifetime.”

“I must not serve a distant neighbour at the expense of the nearest.”

“Each and every one of you should consider himself to be a trustee for the welfare of the rest of his fellow labourers and not be self-seeking.”

“When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o'erflow? If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, Threatening the welkin with his big-swoln face? And wilt thou have a reason for this coil? I am the sea; hark, how her sighs do blow! She is the weeping welkin, I the earth: Then must my sea be moved with her sighs; Then must my earth with her continual tears Become a deluge, overflow'd and drown'd: For why my bowels cannot hide her woes, But like a drunkard must I vomit them. Then give me leave, for losers will have leave To ease their stomachs with their bitter tongues.”

“Never underestimate what it takes to watch someone you love in pain.”

“The rain would not have bothered Fernanda, after all, her whole life had been spent as if it were raining.”

“My charity is outrage, life my shame; And in that shame still live my sorrow's rage!”

“Participate joyfully in the sorrows of life”

“Renunciation remains sorrow, though a sorrow borne willingly.”
