Gandhi Quotes
'I may be a despicable person, but when Truth speaks through me, I am invincible.
I am devoted to none but Truth and I owe no discipline to anybody but Truth.
I have no God to serve but Truth.
I have no strength except what comes from insistence on truth. Non-violence, too, springs from the same insistence.
Life is an aspiration. Its mission is to strive after perfection, which is self-realization. The ideal must not be lowered because of our weaknesses or imperfections. I am painfully conscious of both in me. The silent cry daily goes out to Truth to help me to remove these weakness and imperfections of mine.'
'Believe me when I tell you, after 60 years of personal experience, that the only real misfortune is to abandon the path of truth. If you but realize this, your one prayer to God will always be to enable you to put up, without flinching, with any number of trials and hardships that may fall to your lot in the pursuit of truth. Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time. I must, therefore, continue to bear testimony to Truth even if I am forsaken by all. Mine may today be a voice in the wilderness, but it will be heard when all other voices are silenced, if it is the voice of Truth. A man of faith will remain steadfast to truth, even-though the whole world might appear to be enveloped in falsehood. When it is relevant, truth has to be uttered, however unpleasant it may be. Irrelevance is always untruth and should never be uttered.' Gandhi

"When it is relevant, truth has to be uttered, however unpleasant it may be." How very true. And, yes, sometimes the truth, when relevant, must be spoken.
