The Words of Gandhi - Selected by Richard Attenborough

P 13 “I have learnt through bitter experience the one supreme lesson: to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmuted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmuted into a power which can move the world.”

P 77 “Do not worry in the least about yourself, leave all worry to God,” – this appears to be the commandment in all religions…. If we cultivate the habit of doing (this) service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make not only for our own happiness but that of the world at large.”

P 78 “God answers prayer in His own way, not ours.”

P 78 “What is faith worth if it is not translated into action?’

P 81 “A bad turn is neutralized by a good’ is a wise saying of daily experience in practice.

P 83 “When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator.”

P 92 “It may be long before the law of love will be recognized in internal affairs. The machineries of governments stand between and hide the hearts of one people from those of another.”
