Before civil disobedience can be practised on a vast scale, people must learn the art of civil or voluntary obedience.
Mahatma GandhiSpiritually, compulsory disarmament has made us unmanly, and the presence of an alien army of occupation, employed with deadly effect to crush in us the spirit of resistance, has made us think we cannot look after ourselves or put up a defense against foreign aggression, or even defend our homes and families.
Mahatma Gandhi
