Words by Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) — Leader of the Indian independence movement.

About this quote

True liberty requires the autonomy to act without the fear of enforced perfection. If individuals are only permitted to make choices that authority deems correct, they are not genuinely free. Making errors, learning from them, and taking responsibility for one's choices are essential components of personal growth, moral maturity, and authentic self-determination.

This statement is attributed to Mahatma Gandhi during the Indian independence movement. It reflects his philosophy on self-rule, emphasising that political and personal liberty must allow for human imperfection and learning through experience.
