About This Quote

Here is a quote from Mahatma Gandhi: “Forbearance in the face of fate, beauty constant under torture, are not merely passive. They are a positive achievement, an explicit triumph.” The virtues we want to instill in our children and the virtues we live out in our own lives go hand in hand. To be able to be forgiving and to show dignity and courage when suffering is part of what it means to be human. Gandhi understood that suffering can drive us to new heights, and he believed that suffering could actually make us stronger if we were willing to move beyond it.
