From M. Gandhi’s autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth
I am enjoying his book thus far. There are things I don’t agree with; things I do… I like how honest he is about his experience. I find him at times humbling, and at others completely stubborn and set in his thoughts and ways (but aren’t we all). He was an extraordinary man; human; thinker.
“I know that nothing is impossible for pure love.” (13)
“True friendship is an identity of souls rarely to be found in this world.” (19)
About the study of law:
“Facts mean truth, and once we adhere to truth, the law comes to our aid naturally.” (133)
“I had learnt the true practice of law. I had learnt to find out the better side of human nature and to enter men’s hearts. I realized that the true function of a lawyer was to unite parties riven asunder.” (134)
he was a genius…took real guts to follow non-violence!proud to have him as the father of my nation…though he wouldn’t be proud of what we have turned our country into!
I agree. He is an extraordinary person.
