May not men earn their bread by intellectual labor? No, the needs of the body must be supplied by the body.
Mahatma GandhiAhimsa was preached to man when he was in full vigor of life and able to look his adversaries straight in the face.
Mahatma GandhiIn the application of Satyagraha, I discovered, in the earliest stages, that pursuit of Truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy. For, what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of Truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent but one's own self.
