Autobiography of Gandhi - Quotes

Here are the quotes from the book Gandhi: An Autobiograhy - The Story of My Experiments With Truth:

• Experience has taught me that silence is part of the spiritual discipline of a votary of truth.
• Nothing once begun should be abandoned unless it is proved to be morally wrong
• “Truth is like a vast tree, which yields more and more fruit, the more you nurture it.”
• “The little fleeing glimpses, therefore, that I have been able to have of Truth can hardly convey an idea of the indescribable lustre of Truth, a million times more intense than that of the Sun”
• “To see the universal and all-pervading Spirit of Truth face to face one must be able to love the meanest of creation as oneself.”
• “Identification with everything that lives”
• “I must reduce myself to zero.”
• “Service without humility is selfishness and egotism.”
• “Proneness to exaggerate, to suppress or modify the truth, wittingly or unwittingly, is a natural weakness of man and silence is necessary in order to surmount it.”
• “Renunciation of objects, without the renunciation of desires, is short-lived, however hard you may try.”
• “the path of self-purification is hard and steep. To attain to perfect purity one has to become absolutely passion-free in thought, speech and action; to rise above the opposing currents of love and hatred, attachment and repulsion.”
• “Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.”
• “Facts mean truth, and once we adhere to truth, the law comes to our aid naturally.”
• “The deeper the search in the mine of truth the richer the discovery of the gems buried there”
