The Internet has a large number of sites which offer quotations on a variety of topics ranging from friendship, love, destiny, life, death, peace and politics. But the net has one site which gives quotations from people from all walks of life all over the world.
The site address is http://www.quotationsbook.com and it features 106 quotations from the Mahatma.
One quotation attributed to him says "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
Another quotation says "It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business."
The Mahatma is also quoted as saying, "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."
He has also said "You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty."
