The wisest point of them all I believe was his first. This summarizes the liberal versus conservative viewpoint so well. Is man's primary conflict man vs. society or man vs. himself? This is a driving theme of Western philosophy and literature. Thanks to people like Marx and Rousseau, most graduates believe that society is the cause of all their problems. They do not wish to look inward for flaws.
Although I have some problems with Gandhi, one of the wisest quotes of the twentieth century is certainly: "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
