Quotes of Mahatma Gandhi

"Man is the finest creature of Almighty God. Man\'s life not static. Ups and downs, joy and sorrows, rise and fall, fame and defame, pleasure and pain, profit and loss, love and hate are part of every man\'s life. These are hard realities of life and form which no one can escape. One must learn to live a harmonious, peaceful and dignified life in all circumstances and for that we need eternal-light. The eternal light we get either from religious books or from thoughts, ideas and adventurous life history of great men to inspire our own lives.

It we turn the pages of history we will find ample examples of great men of the world who themselves go inspiration from the great men. Inspiration is eternal light and it is necessary for human being. We must understand that one candle can not remove the darkness of a room but darkness of the whole world combined together can not stop the light of even one candle. One candle will lit another candle and day will come when whole world will be lit.

Gandhi inspired himself and became Mahatma. He also inspired millions of people during his lifetime, and is still inspiring people around the whole world. His thoughts are everlasting, time tested and written for common man in a simple language.
