Insistence on truth can come into play when one party practises untruth or injustice. Only then can love be tested. True friendship is put to the test only when one party disregards the obligation of friendship.
My life is one indivisible whole, and all my activities run into one another, and they all have their rise in my insatiable love of mankind.
We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?
Where love is, there God is also.
Love never claims, it ever gives. Love ever suffers, never resents never revenges itself.
The test of friendship is assistance in adversity, and that too, unconditional assistance. Co-operation which needs consideration is a commercial contract and not friendship. Conditional co-operation is like adulterated cement which does not bind.
It may be long before the law of love will be recognised in international affairs. The machineries of government stand between and hide the hearts of one people from those of another.
To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that the one that must be loved is not a friend. There is no merit in loving an enemy when you forget him for a friend.
Whenever I see an erring man, I say to myself I have also erred; when I see a lustful man I say to myself, so was I once; and in this way I feel kinship with everyone in the world and feel that I cannot be happy without the humblest of us being happy.
Friendship that insists upon agreement on all matters is notworth the name. Friendship to be real must ever sustain the weight of honest differences, however sharp they be.
Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment.
Man's nature is not essentially evil. Brute nature has been known to yield to the influence of love. You must never despair of human nature.
By Mahatma Gandhi
If you have heard Gandhi talking you can not doubt the strength within his every word. Just as these words written here they hold truths that came from the mind and heart of a very spiritual man that blessed this earth.
