Mahatma Gandhi was asked: what are the factors that can destroy the
human being?
This is what he actually replied:
There are seven social sins: politics without principles, wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, and worship without sacrifice.
“Life has shown me that people are
courteous if I am courteous; people are sad if I am sad; people love me if I
love them; people are mean if I hate them; people smile if I smile; people
scowl if I am scowling; that the world is happy if I am happy; that people get
mad if I am mad; that people are grateful if I show gratitude. Life is like a
mirror; if I smile, the mirror returns the smile. The same attitude I have
towards life is what life will have towards me.
“He who wishes to be loved, must
love first.”
