We are the makers of our own state and...individuals who realize the fact need not, ought not, to wait for collective action.

Unrestricted individualism is the law of the beast of the jungle.

When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.

For the poor, the economic is spiritual.

Worship or prayer is not to be performed with the lips, but with the heart.

Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.

Every widow I have met has recognized in the wheel a dear forgotten friend.
