Your Quotes for 2 October 2005 - Ghandi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born at Porbandar, Kathiawad, India on this day in 1869. From his early career in law to his assassination while preparing to pray in 1948 the Mahatma (Sanskrit for "great soul") preached nonviolence, and to the surprise and consternation of the South African and colonial Indian governments he changed his world. Once asked what he thought of Western civilization he replied, "I think it would be a good idea."

Truth never damages a cause that is just.
- All from Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, 1869 - 1948
