I would make these words of Gandhi compulsory to read and learn for each politician on the World ,maybe it would make a (visible) difference!
1. Change
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.”
2. Control.
“Nobody can hurt me without my permis sion.
3. Forgiveness
“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”
“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind"
4. Action.
“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”
5. The present moment.
“I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.”
6. Everyone is human.
“I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.”
“It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.”
7. Persist.
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
8. Goodness.
“I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.”
“Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.”
“I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.”
9. Truth
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
“Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.”
10. Development.
“Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.”

Hi Monika,
2 and 3 are golden keys for me.
They bring us awareness. Thanks,
Dear Nafis,
I agree with you,he was an authentic person,that's why his words have weight....
Thank you for reading and giving your opinion on my post!
I also like this quote of him:
"When I despair, I remember that throughout history, truth and love have always won" - Gandhi
Dear Monika, what a great blog!! Ghandi is one of my favorite charactors of history. I think he was the person who could put his words into reality through his actions and that's what is admirable.
I think what he said: "Always aim at complete harmony of thought, word and deed, Aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well"...is so true and reality of this world.
Dear Atika!
I liked your comment,such a nice complement to my blog.
Your words are completely true,this sentence is so great of yours:
Although the life is so simple, the world is built under an immense complexity,
born from the selfishness of humans and the thirst of power.
Men are eager to purify their bodies and cloths,but they should do the same with their thoughts and mind as well,it would be a surely better world!
“Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed.
Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.”
I agree with you.
Thank you dear Atika once again!
PEACE AND LOVE!
ALWAYS!<3
I love ur blog Monika,,
i m completely in love with those ideas of peace and with all those great persons who have the desir to spread love and peace allover the world, inspite of their religions, believes, we all share something even if we have millions miles of differences, we share "humanity".
the sentences written it the picture are great and completely true. We can not change a world, but in stead we can say a simple word, share a feeling, a thought, but the most important is to have ourselves a deep faith, a respect for each others, a love to give without receiving, a dream to share with others...
Although the life is so simple, the world is built under an immense complexity, born from the selfishness of humans andthe thirst of power.
Look how those fundamental words of Ghandi are simple and accessible for every one of us;
Forgiveness, control, truth...it only a question of determination, ressources, keeping the feeling of humans in the deep inside. Unfortunately it seems so hard for lot of people.
“Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.”
"PURIFYING",indeed ,,this is what humans need ,,to purify their hearts.
"PEACE AND LOVE" sister ,,
we will never stop saying this expression untill the last day of our existance.
