Daily quote |
Mohandas Gandhi (Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi)It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. Just as a man would not cherish living in a body other than his own, so do nations not like to live under other nations, however noble and great the latter may be. Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment. Let everyone try and find that as a result of daily prayer he adds something new to his life, something with which nothing can be compared. Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom. Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men. Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her. Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment. Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him. |
