Best Mahatma Gandhi Quotes

1. “Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”

2. “Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:
- I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
- I shall fear only God.
- I shall not bear ill will toward anyone.
- I shall not submit to injustice from anyone.
- I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.” 

3. “Nobody can hurt me without my permission.” 

4. “Where there is love, there is life" 

5. “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” 

6. “Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”

10. “To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then a woman is immeasurably man's superior."
