What I found in "My Experiments with Truth"

When I was reading the book on "My Experiments with Truth" written by M.K.Gandhi, I found certain things very enthralling and the thoughts of M.K.Gandhi were really little extraordinary. Here are certain excerpts.
1> I know nothing is impossible for pure love. God ultimately svaes him whose motive is pure. Shyness can be one of the reasosn for aloofness. Bad handwriting should be regarded as a sign of an imperfect education.
2> A scientific knowledge of one language makes a knowledge of other languages comparatively easy.
3> A Reformer cannot affort to have close intimacy with him whom he seeks to reform. True friendship is an identity of souls rarely to be found in this world. Only between like natures acan friendship be altogether worthy and enduring. Friends react to one another. Hence in friendship there is very little scope for reform.
4> All exclusive intimacies are to be avoided, for man takes in vice far more readily than virtue. And he who would be friends with God must remain alone, or make the whole world his friend.
5> A servant wrongly suspected may throw up his job, a son in the same case may leave his fathers roof, and a friend may put an end to the friendship. The wife if she suspects her husband, will keep quiet, but if the husband suspects her she is ruined. A hindu wife has no remedy in Law.
