Hi everyone, hi Hemlata! Some quotes of M. Gandhi:
"Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well." "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. " "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." "Hate the sin, love the sinner. " "I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. " Best regards to all Lil On Apr 17, 1:29 am, hemlata joshi <[email protected]> wrote: > * > > I am starting a new thread, i.e. *'words of wisdom'*, with quotes > and sayings of the greatest leaders and livelihoods around the world. > Starting with Rabindranath Tagore.
