Mahatma Gandhi (October 2, 1869–January 30 1948) was an Indian civil rights leader who was instrumental in India’s independence from Great Britain. He promoted non-violent resistance and helped rally workers against discrimination and government excess taxation. 

Below we list some words of wisdom from Mahatma Gandhi. 

“Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state becomes lawless or corrupt.” 

“Fear of disease killed more men than disease itself.” 

“Vaccination is a barbarous practice and one of the most fatal of all the delusions current in our time. Conscientious objectors to vaccination should stand alone, if need be, against the whole world, in defense of their conviction.” 

“Our greatest ability as humans is not to change the world; but to change ourselves.”

“Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.” 

“There are two days in the year that we cannot do anything, yesterday and tomorrow.”

“It’s easy to stand in the crowd but it takes courage to stand alone.” 

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

“Relationships are based on four principles: respect, understanding, acceptance and appreciation.” 

“Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.” 

“God has no religion.” 

“For me, the different religions are beautiful flowers from the same garden, or they are branches of the same majestic tree. Therefore, they are equally true, though being received and interpreted through human instruments equally imperfect.” 

“A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.” 

“Every home is a university and the parents are the teachers.” 

“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.” 

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall…think of it, always.” 

“Forgive and forget, but never forget to forgive. You may find a happier heart is the key to a happier life.” 

“It is for us to make the effort. The result is always in God’s hands.”
