Here are 10 inspiring quotes by Mahatma Gandhi to remember and reflect on Gandhi Jayanti.
- “Forgiveness is the quality of the brave, not of the cowardly. The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”
- “In a gentle way, you can shake the world.”
- “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.”
- “You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.”
- “A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.”
- “You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
- “What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.”
- “You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results."
- “Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?"
- “Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.”
