The Wisdom Letter #051

5 quotes from Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948)

✹ For today's Wisdom Letter, we have carefully curated five bite-sized quotes from the Indian independence activist, Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948).

Quote № 01:

“Seven social sins: politics without principles, wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, and worship without sacrifice.”

— Mahatma Gandhi, “Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi Vol. 33”

Quote № 02:

“An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self sustained.”

— Mahatma Gandhi

Quote № 03:

“Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time. I must continue to bear testimony to truth even if I am forsaken by all. Mine may today be a voice in the wilderness, but it will be heard when all other voices are silenced, if it is the voice of Truth.”

— Mahatma Gandhi, “Basic Education”

Quote № 04:

“A good person will resist an evil system with his whole soul. Disobedience of the laws of an evil state is therefore a duty.”

— Mahatma Gandhi, “Non-Violent Resistance”

Quote № 05:

“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.”

— Mahatma Gandhi
