QUOTES FROM GANDHIJI....(every person SHOULD KEEP IN mind.....)


1.YOU MUST NOT LOST FAITH IN HUMANITY.HUMANITY IS AN OCEAN.IF FEW DROPS OF AN OCEAN IS DIRTY ,THE OCEAN DOES NOT BECOME DIRTY.

2.TO GIVE SERVICE TO A SINGLE HEART BY A SINGLE ACT IS BETTER THAN A THOUSAND HEADS BOWING IN PRAYER.

3.THERE IS NOTHING THAT WASTES THE BODY LIKE WORRY,AND THE ONE WHO HAD FAITH IN GOD SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING.

4.IN PRAYER,IT IS BETTER TO HAVE A HEART WITHOUT WORDS THAN WORDS WITHOUT A HEART.

5.IT IS EASY TO BE FRIENDLY TO ONE'S FRIENDS.BUT TO BE FRIEND THE ONE WHO REGARDS HIMSELF AS YOUR ENEMY IS THE QUITE ESSENCE OF TRUE RELIGION.THE OTHER IS MERE BUSINESS.

6.IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MYSTERY TO ME HOW MEN CAN FEEL THEMSELVES HONOURED BY THE HUMILIATION OF THEIR FELLOW BEINGS.

7.THERE IS SUFFICIENCY IN THE WORLD FOR MAN'S NEED BUT NOT FOR MAN'S GREED.

8.I LOOK ONLY TO THE GOOD QUALITIES OF MEN.

9.HAPPINESS IS WHEN,WHAT YOU THINK,WHAT YOU SAY,AND WHAT YOU DO.

10.GOD SOMETIMES DOES TRY TO THE UTTERMOST THOSE WHOM HE WISHES TO BLESS.

11.THE BEST WAY TO FIND YOURSELF IS TO LOSE YOURSELF IN THE SERVICE OF OTHERS.
