Quotations of Mahathma Gandhiji

Thought

Man should forget his anger before he lies down to sleep.

A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.

Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.

I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.

Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn’t have it in the beginning.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

I am but a poor struggling soul yearning to be wholly good, wholly truthful and wholly non-violent in thought, word and deed, but ever failing to reach the ideal which I know to be true. It is a painful climb, but the pain of it is a positive pleasure to me. Each step upwards makes me feel stronger and fit for the next.

That service is the noblest which is rendered for its own sake.
