He was born and bred to not eat meat but a school friend who was strong and brave told
Gandhi that these traits were due to eating meat and convinced him to try some.
He tried some goat’s meat and continued for about a year in secret, before deciding that
lying to his parents was worse than not being a meat-eater and he never ate meat again.

student.

For a short while, Gandhi also took up smoking with his friend, stealing coppers from
servant’s pocket money to purchase the cigarettes.
Once he grew up though, he had no desire to smoke and saw smoking as dirty and harmful.
At the age of 16, Gandhi’s father died. A few days later his wife Kasturba gave birth, but
their child only survived a few days.
After passing his final school exams, Gandhi went to England to study law. He was given his
mother’s permission by vowing not to touch wine, women or meat. He left from Bombay
and set sail on 4th September 1888.
Once arriving at Southampton, he went straight to London, staying first at a hotel and then
with an English family. He tried to become an English gentleman and assimilate into society
by reading newspapers, buying a hat and learning to tie a tie.
He also briefly took dancing lessons and was taught to play the violin, but neither of these
two things lasted more than a few months. What then followed was a period of intense
study and modest living.
However, in his last year in England in 1890, he did travel to Paris to a great exhibition,
where the prime attraction was the newly built Eiffel Tower.

Mahatma Gandhi quotes on Peace
I regard myself as a soldier, though a soldier of peace.
The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens
the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of
life because they had become painful to him.
I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel
your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work
together for unity and love
Mahatma Gandhi Quotes on Freedom
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how
human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of
that precious right.
I’m a lover of my own liberty, and so I would do nothing to restrict yours.
If India adopted the doctrine of love as an active part of her religion and introduced it in her
politics, Swaraj (Independence) would descend upon India from heaven. But I am painfully aware
that that event is far off as yet.
I want freedom for the full expression on my personality.
