Seven Social Sins

I could get lost in Wikiquote for hours. It's fabulous...I highly recommend you take a look around it sometime if you have a few extra minutes (or hours...).

I was reading quotes of Mahatma Gandhi today, and I particularly liked the following:

The Seven Social Sins
(also known as the Seven Blunders of Society)

  • Politics without principles
  • Wealth without work
  • Pleasure without conscience
  • Knowledge without character
  • Commerce without morality
  • Science without humanity
  • Worship without sacrifice

I also liked his advice to "speak only if it improves the silence."
