"Man becomes great exactly in the degree..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“Morality is contraband in war.”

“When real independence comes to India, the Congress and the League will be nowhere unless they represent the real opinion of the country.”

“A man who wants to control his animal passions easily does so if he controls his palate.”

“The first thing a great person does is make us realize the insignificance of circumstance.”

“The greatness of man is great in that he knows himself to be wretched. A tree does not know itself to be wretched.”

“Man is so great that his greatness appears even in the consciousness of his misery. A tree does not know itself to be miserable. It is true that it is misery indeed to know one's self to be miserable; but then it is greatness also. In this way, all man's miseries go to prove his greatness. They are the miseries of a mighty potentate, of a dethroned monarch.”

“Reverence for life . . . does not allow the scholar to live for his science alone, even if he is very useful . . . the artist to exist only for his art, even if he gives inspiration to many. . . . It refuses to let the business man imagine that he fulfills all legitimate demands in the course of his business activities. It demands from all that they should sacrifice a portion of their own lives for others.”

“Not the maker of plans and promises, but rather the one who offers faithful service in small matters. This is the person who is most likely to achieve what is good and lasting.”

“Therefore we pledge to bindourselves to one another, to embraceour lowliest, to keep company withour loneliest, to educate our illiterate,to feed our starving, to clothe ourragged, to do all good things,knowing that we are more thankeepers of our brothers and sisters.We are our brothers and sisters”
