Famous people and their quotes. Part seven.

                                          Mahatma Gandhi.


“Religions are different roads converging to the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads, so long as we reach the same goal? In reality, there are as many religions as there are individuals.”

“There are many things to do. Let each one of us choose our task and stick to it through thick and thin. Let us not think of the vastness. But let us pick up that portion which we can handle best.”

“If we are to reach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with children.”

“A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.”

“An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.”
