The Thoughts of the Mahatma Gandhi

Answers for our Times :

- The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. 

- God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless. 

- When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, 

my soul expands in the worship of the creator. 

- Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. 

- If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children. 

- I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself,

I won't presume to probe into the faults of others. 

There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed. 

It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honored by the humiliation of their fellow beings. 

- It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business. 

- In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. 

- There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever. 

- To give service to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer. 

- 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. 

- You must be the change you wish to see in the world. 

Top 10 Famous Acceptance Quotes

Acceptance says, "True, this is my situation at the moment. I'll look unblinkingly at the reality of it. But I'll also open my hands to accept willingly whatever a loving Father sends me."

- Catharine Marshall

Acceptance is not submission; it is acknowledgement of the facts of a situation. Then deciding what you're going to do about it.

- Kathleen Casey Theisen

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

- Reinhold Niebuhr

You have to take it as it happens, but you should try to make it happen the way you want to take it.

- Old German proverb

We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

It's not a very big step from contentment to complacency.

- Simone de Beauvoir

The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.

- Maureen Dowd

"Good enough never is" has become the motto of this company.

- Debbi Fields

Self-complacency is fatal to progress.

- Margaret Elizabeth Sangster

Some people confuse acceptance with apathy, but there's all the difference in the world. Apathy fails to distinguish between what can and what cannot be helped; acceptance makes that distinction. Apathy paralyzes the will-to-action; acceptance frees it by relieving it of impossible burdens.

- Arthur Gordon

Artistic creativity is a whirlpool of imagination

One should count each day a separate life.
~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca


Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
~ Sir Winston Churchill

The key to responsibility is self-respect. When anything goes wrong, an individual is not willing to take the responsibility for his own choice. Instead it becomes very convenient for him to blame others for the mistake. Lack of self-respect abstains one to take the responsibility for the choice that he has made. So his words and actions reflect excuses and justifications. When we have self-respect and are able to maintain our inner positive consciousness, we are able to continue having this consciousness wherever we are, and are able to feel the ease of accepting the consequences of our actions. We are able to learn from everything that happens in our life, having taken the responsibility of our actions.
~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu
