Mahatma Gandhi's quotes
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.
An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.
Fear has its use but cowardice has none.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
There is more to life than increasing its speed.
To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
