Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948) was an ethical giant. With undaunted courage and determination, he united his diverse homeland of India under a banner of moral idealism. As a visionary, he left an indelible mark on his nation and the world. Edited and illustrated by Beatrice Tanaka, this book gathers together some of his cogent thoughts on work, democracy, religion, non-violence, civil disobedience, and wealth. All of these quotations are enhanced by black-and-white illustrations by Tanaka, who has put together over 40 children's books. Here's a sample of Gandhi's enduring wisdom: "Man cannot do right in one department of life while he is occupied doing wrong in another department. Life is one indivisible whole." To dip into this stream of ethical insight is to be refreshed again and again.
