Mahatma GandhiWe may not go about parroting truth and nonviolence and steering clear of them in our daily life.
Mahatma GandhiKaffirs are as a rule uncivilized - the convicts even more so. They are troublesome, very dirty and live almost like animals.
Mahatma GandhiThere must be power in the word of a satyagraha general, not the power that the possession of limitless arms gives, but the power that purifies life which strict vigilance and a ceaseless application produce.
Mahatma GandhiThe real difficulty is that people have no idea of what education truly is. We assess the value of education in the same manner as we assess the value of land or of shares in the stock-exchange market. We want to provide only such education as would enable the student to earn more. We hardly give any thought to the improvement of the character of the educated. The girls, we say, do not have to earn; so why should they be educated? As long as such ideas persist there is no hope of our ever knowing the true value of education.
