Gandhi's 10

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

2. You must be the change you want to see in the world.

3. Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

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

5. An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.

6. I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.

7. I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.

8. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

9. I look only to the good qualities of human. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.

10. Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.

Some quotes...

“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.”

“The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problem.”

“If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide.”

Is this my first post on Gandhi... hmm :)
