From time to time, a needless debate arises Is Gandhian philosophy relevant?. His thoughts and philosophy are immortal, but sadly, peoples memory isnt!. I have compiled a few of his thoughts below:

About individuals character and thoughts: It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.

Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.

Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.

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

There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience . It super cedes all other courts.

Each one has to find his peace from within . And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.

I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I wont presume to probe into the faults of others.

About Religion and God:

My religion is based on truth and non-violence . Truth is my God. Non-violence is

the means of realizing Him.

Faith must be enforced by reason ... when faith becomes blind it dies.

A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

MISCELLANEOUS Truth never damages a cause that is just.

To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

We must be the change we wish to see.

There is a sufficiency in the world for mans need but not for mans greed.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have

always won . There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem
invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of italways.
