Google is celebrating another great man today, Mahatma Gandhi. He was a man of principles and he promoted truth, nonviolence, vegetarianism, Brahmacharya, simplicity, and faith. The search giant is celebrating Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday with a Google Doodle, a fact which has become very popular recently. Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 and today is his 140th anniversary.

Google’s Logo is called Birthday of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi as this is full name. The name of Mahatma Gandhi comes from a Bengali polymath called Rabindranath Tagore. In order to promote his principles Gandhi left behind a lot of quotes that some people are following even today. Below you can find several Gandhi quotes that I hope will inspire you.

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall — think of it, always.”

“What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?”

“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”

“There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for.”

“As soon as we lose the moral basis, we cease to be religious. There is no such thing as religion over-riding morality. Man, for instance, cannot be untruthful, cruel or incontinent and claim to have God on his side.”

“The sayings of Muhammad are a treasure of wisdom, not only for Muslims but for all of mankind.”

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians.”

When asked are you a Hindu, his answer was: “Yes I am. I am also a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist and a Jew.”
