Product Description
I"The only tyrant I'll accept in this world is the 'still, small voice' within."BR "Democracy, disciplined and enlightened, is the finest thing in the world."BR "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."/I PThis 21st-century expanded edition of this inspiring collection reaffirms the message of the great spiritual leader, whose life was dramatized so brilliantly in Attenborough's movie IGandhi/I, and who was ITime/I magazine's "Man of the Century" runner-up (to Albert Einstein). PThis expanded edition brings to a new readership more than 150 excerpts of the great spiritual leader's letters, speeches, and writings from more than four decades on daily life, cooperation, nonviolence, peace, and faith. With selections and a preface by the award-winning director of IGandhi/I, the book now also includes an introduction by Johanna McGeary, ITime's/I Senior Foreign Correspondent (who wrote the essay on Gandhi for ITime's/I century-end issue), placing Gandhi's life and work in the historical context of the 20th century. PI"Gandhi was inevitable. If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable. He lived, thought and acted, inspired by the vision of humanity evolving toward a world of peace and harmony. We may ignore him at our own risk."#151;Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. /I

Inspiring August 10, 2006
Mr. S. Nyman
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
This book is short and sweet (the quotes are spaced out on the pages and they include photographs). This was informative of areas Ghandi does not talk of much in his autobiography, especially his views on non-violence. Inspiring quotes that get you thinking.
Comparable to Proverbs May 16, 1998

It is like the Book of Proverbs in the Bible. Gandhi's seemingly superhuman insight on virtue is indeed deeply moving. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to hear many of the words of the wisest.
