the greatness of this man was his simplicity

Generations to come, it may be, will scarcely believe that such a one, as this, ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth. - Albert Einstein

October 2 is Gandhi Jayanti and International Day of Non-violence.

Some quotations…

An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.

If one has no affection for a person or a system, one should feel free to give the fullest expression to his disaffection so long as he does not contemplate, promote, or incite violence.

Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.

Seven social sins: politics without principles, wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, and worship without sacrifice.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Man is the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.

To believe in something, and not live it, is dishonest.

Truth alone will endure; all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time.

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self sustained.

I came to the conclusion long ago … that all religions were true and also that all had some error in them, and whilst I hold by my own, I should hold others as dear as Hinduism. So we can only pray, if we are Hindus, not that a Christian should become a Hindu … But our innermost prayer should be a Hindu should be a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, a Christian a better Christian.

To a man with an empty stomach food is God.

We need to be the change we wish to see in the world.

and finally….

My life is my message.
