Mohandas K. Gandhi

“ It is our task to analyse and explore the body, the brain and the mind of man separately; but if we stop here, we derive no benefit despite our scientific knowledge. It is necessary to know about the evil effects of injustice, wickedness, vanity and the like, and the disaster they spell where the three are found together. And mere knowledge is not enough, it should be followed by appropriate action. An ethical idea is like an architect's plan. ”

“ However, those committing a breach of morality have only themselves to blame.
In the path of morality there is no such things as reward for moral behaviour. If a man does some good deed, he does not do it to win applause, he does it because he must. For him doing good is but a higher kind of food, if one may compare food and goodness. And if someone should give him an opportunity to do a good deed, he would feel grateful just as a starving man would be grateful to the giver of food and bless him. ”

“ Only when there is such readiness to accept moral responsibility will men tread the path of virtue.
God is omnipotent, He is perfect. There are no limits to His mercy, to His goodness and to His justice. ”
