Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause.

Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause.

Summary

This quote suggests that when people exhibit intolerance towards beliefs or ideas different from their own, it reveals a lack of confidence or belief in their own cause. It implies that those who are sure of their beliefs do not feel threatened by differing perspectives or the coexistence of diverse ideas. Intolerance, therefore, may be seen as a sign of insecurity or doubt in the validity or strength of one's own beliefs, highlighting the importance of open-mindedness and respect for different viewpoints.

God isn't the son of Memory; He's the son of Immediate Experience. You can't worship a spirit in spirit, unless you do it now. Wallowing in the past may be good literature. As wisdom, it's hopeless. Time Regained is Paradise Lost, and Time Lost is Paradise Regained. Let the dead bury their dead. If you want to live at every moment as it presents itself, you've got to die to every other moment.

When I was a child, I thought grown-ups and teachers knew the truth, because they told me they did. It took years for me to discover that the first step in finding out the truth is to begin unlearning almost everything adults had taught me, and to start doing all the things they'd told me NOT to do.

They were all running around in mazes like everyone else.
