Happy Birthday Gandhi!
It is Gandhi's birthday today. Here's my collection of Gandhi quotes for the occasion. =)

"There are so many religions as there are individuals."

"Man's happiness really lies in contentment. He who is discontented, however much he possesses, becomes a slave to his desires."

"We must be the change we want to see."

"Ignorance will not disappear merely with education, it can go only with a change in our ways of thinking."

"Truth is the exclusive property of no single scripture."

"Generally history is the chronicle of kings and their wars, the future history will be the history of man."

"It is our actions which count. Thoughts, however good in themselves, are like false pearls unless they are translated into action."

"Love is not love which asks for a return."

"Hatred can be overcome only by love, counter-hatred only increases the surface as well as the depth of hatred."

"Non-violence is a weapon of the strong."

"Only when the least can say, 'I have got my liberty', have I got mine."

"True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding out the true path for ourselves and in fearlessly following it."

"A guru is one who guides us to righteousness by his own righteous conduct."

"Selfless service is the secret of life, to rise above passions is the highest ideal."

"I want no revolution. I want ordered progress. I want no disordered order. I want no chaos. I want real order to be evolved out of this chaos which is misrepresented to me as order."

"Non-cooperation is a protest against an unwitting and unwilling participation in evil."

"There can be no living harmony between races and nations unless the main cause is removed, namely, exploitation of the weak by the strong."

"Men generally hesitate to make a beginning if they feel that the objective cannot be had in its entirety. Such an attitude of mind is in reality a bar to progress."

"I hate privilege and monopoly, whatever cannot be shared with the masses is taboo to me."

"The masses have no other knowledge but experience to guide them."

"To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world."

"We shall never be able to raise the standard of public life through laws."

"What we mean by independence is that we will not live on the sufferance of any people on earth."

"Humanity is one undivided and indivisible family, and each one of us is responsible for the misdeeds of all the others."

"A coward is incapable of exhibiting love, it is the prerogative of the brave."

"God has no religion."

"If national life becomes so perfect as to become self-regulated, no representation is necessary. There is then a state of enlightened anarchy."

"Forgiveness is the quality of the brave, not of the cowardly."

"An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind."

"To answer brutality with brutality is to admit one's moral and intellectual bankruptcy and it can only start a vicious circle."

"I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible, but I refuse to be blown off my feet by any."

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."

"Mr. Gandhi, What do you think of Western civilization?"
"I think it would be a good idea."

Awwwww... what a wonderfully amazing man he was... he gives me so much hope for the future of humanity... anyone is capable of being as good of a person as he was... remember that!
