Gandhi's ideas are as meaningful today as they were during his long and inspiring life. His enlightening thoughts and beliefs, especially on violence and the atomic bomb, reveal his eloquent foresight about our contemporary world. The words of one of the greatest men of the twentieth century, chosen by the award-winning director Richard Attenborough from Gandhi's letters, speeches, and published writings, explore the prophet's timeless thoughts on daily life, cooperation, nonviolence, faith, and peace.

This bestselling volume includes an introduction by Attenborough and an afterword by Time magazine Senior Foreign Correspondent Johanna McGeary that places Gandhi's life and work in the historical context of the twentieth century. This book and the film Gandhi were the result of producer/director Richard Attenborough's long commitment to keeping alive the flame of Gandhi's spiritual achievement and the wisdom of his actions and his words. They are the wisdom and words of peace. Also included are twenty striking historical photographs, specially selected from the archives at the National Gandhi Museum in New Delhi, that capture the important personal, political, and spiritual aspects of Gandhi's career.

This is one of those books you keep somewhere where you can pick it up, open to a random page and read for a few moments. Gandhi had his views of things which may or may not be your views but you have to respect the conviction he had in what he believed. This book inspired me to go on and read more about him. In this day and age when Monsanto's genetically modified cotton is making Indian farmers kill themselves on a daily basis, Gandhi's belief that his country's welfare can be improved by citizens meditation and spinning each day becomes a sad and startling reminder that perhaps we should stop tampering with nature and return to nurturing the people who need help.

Good for those who don't have the time to invetigate all of Gandhi's works but appreciate an excellent review. Rated four stars due to its brevity but maybe that's also a plus for it covers all his main points well. Read, learn, and enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Chosen Words of Gandhi'
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2010
Verified Purchase
The book from Richard Attenborough of quotes from Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi-(Mahatma Gandhi)contain many of his quotes which were chosen by the editor, Richard Attenborough but it is self serving and biased for a few reasons. Mr. Attenborough is English, was made "Commander of the Order of the British Empire" in 1967 & was Knighted in 1976 all for England. The problem I find is that even though Mr. Attenborough made over 80 films and had many achievements, Gandhi starved and suffered for India's independence from England. A quote which is a startling one from Gandhi is about "Civil Disobedience" & reads "Nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence. But the message of nonviolence is for those who know how to die-not for those who are afraid of death. If one has not that courage, I want him to cultivate the art of killing and being killed, rather than in a cowardly manner to flee from danger." This quote from Gandhi was hung on the wall of Bruce Lee's gym! Remember that England oppressed India and that is where Richard Attenborough, being a Knight and a "Commander of the British Empire" has a conflict of interest. Mr. Attenborough directed the film "Gandhi" and won an award for the film but his chosen quotes leave out the interesting one's. An example is the quote about civil disobedience. Representing "The "British Empire" and representing Gandhi is ironic in my opinion. Most of the quotes from Gandhi that are used in Mr. Attenborough's book are lily white compared to the strife that Gandhi has suffered for India's independence from Great Briton & the book should have been titled-"Quotes from Gandhi that England tolerated"-Craig Barr.

This book is a reminder of how to live and lead, from a man who described himself as a practical idealist, but was indeed a great soul. The world has much learn from his words if only they could be practiced.
