Some of the famous quotes by Mahatma Gandhi have been listed below :
- Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
- Fear is not a disease of the body; fear kills the soul.
- The principle of majority does not work when differences on fundamentals are involved.
- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
- It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.
- It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
- You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
- Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress.
- Whatever you do may be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

7 Essential Health Tips (The Basics to Practice Every Day)
7 Quotes about Health
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Fitness – if it comes in a bottle, everybody would have a great body.
Make your own recovery the first priority in your life.
The groundwork of all happiness is health.
Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.
Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.
Our health always seems much more valuable after we lose it.
7 Essential Health Tips (The Basics to Practice Every Day) :
1. Move More :
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more.
2. Cut Fat :
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats . Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise.
3. Reduce Stress:
Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e., Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible
4. Protect Yourself from Pollution:
If you can't live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It's a good pollution and dirt from the street deterrent. Thought for the day: 'Smoke gets in your eyes'…and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants….hum the tune daily.
5. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook:
There's a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can't be unhappy when you're smiling or singing.
6. Floss Your Teeth:
Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it's because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don't?
7. Quit Smoking and Drinking:
Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health. We’ve seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the film influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware, its an acting for that film not in there real life.
Avoid excessive alcohol. Too much may result in loss of brain cells.
