Quote by Mahatma Gandhi
Personally, I hold that a man, who deliberately and intelligently takes a pledge and then breaks it, forfeits his manhood.
Summary
This quote suggests that when a person makes a conscious and informed commitment or promise, and subsequently breaks it intentionally, they lose their sense of integrity and dignity as a human being. Breaking a pledge implies a lack of honor and respect for one's own words and actions, resulting in a loss of what is traditionally associated with being a responsible and trustworthy individual.
