- mahatma gandhi quotes
1. You must be the change you wish to see in the world. – Mahatma Gandhi
If you are not happy about anything in your world or society, be willing to change it within yourself first. Don’t complain. Complaining won’t take you anywhere. Nothing will change unless you change.
2. The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. – Mahatma Gandhi
It takes courage to forgive someone who has wronged you. Because we are often so caught up in our egos that forgiving seems like losing an egoistic battle. But sometimes you have to take the high road with forgiveness, both for the other person and for your own wellbeing.
3. Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. – Mahatma Gandhi
Happiness comes when you follow your own path. When you refuse to settle for others expectation of what you should and shouldn’t be doing, and instead live the life you know is right for YOU. When your actions in life back up your words, when you know inside you are living true to yourself, that is when you can’t be anything but happy. Happiness lies in integrity.
4. An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind. – Mahatma Gandhi
The world has grown tired of mass shootings and terrorism. What purpose do they serve? In the end, how will all terrorists die? With hate in their hearts. Among all famous Mahatma Gandhi quotes, this one stands out.
If you want to take revenge and feed your hate, you will never be satisfied. Only love can eradicate hate, not hate by itself.
