Mahatma Gandhi
(This is a quote about Gandhi, rather than by him.)
At the root of innumerable wrongs in our civilization is the discrepancy
between word, creed and deed. It is the weakness of churches, states,
parties, and persons. It gives men and institutions split personalities.
Gandhi attempted to heal the split by establishing harmony in place
of discrepancy, and as he progressively attained it he became happy,
relaxed, and gay.
Gandhi had mental health because
in him word, creed, deed were one; he was integrated. That is the
meaning of integrity. "The truth
shall make you free”—and well. Through truth, Gandhi
set himself free…
From Gandhi: His Life and Message for the World
By Louis Fischer p.40
