Gandi's Seven Deadly Sins: Mohandas Karamachand Gandhi, one of the most influential figures in modern social and political activism, considered these traits to be the most spiritually perilous to humanity.
"No culture can live,
if it attempts to be exclusive."
"To believe in
something, and not to live it, is dishonest."
"When I despair, I remember
that all through history the way of truth and love has always won.
There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible,
but tin the end, they always fall - think of it, always."
"An eye for an eye makes the
world go blind."
"Non-cooperation with evil is
a much a duty as cooperation with good."
"The earth provides enough to
satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed."
"We must become the change we
want to see in the world."
The only devils in the world are
those running around in our own hearts - that is where the battle should
be fought."
"Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I
believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I
believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it
in the beginning."
"A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. This was a perfect act." |

"Strange that so few come to the woods to see how
the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the
light – to see its perfect success." ~ Henry David Thoreau ~ |
