I learned from my illiterate but wise mother that all rights to be deserved and preserved came from duty well done. Thus the very right to live accrues to us only when we do the duty of citizenship of the world. From this one fundamental statement, perhaps it is easy enough to define the duties of Man and Woman and correlate every right to some corresponding duty to be first performed. Every other right can be shown to be a usurpation hardly worth fighting for.

No man could look upon another as his enemy, unless he first became his own enemy.

I hold that without truth and nonviolence there can be nothing but destruction of humanity.

Nothing can be more hurtful to an honourable man than that he should be accused of bad faith.

Woman is, by habit or nature, queen of the household. She is not designed to organize on a large scale.

What is truth? A difficult question; but I have solved it for myself by saying that it is what the 'voice within' tells you.

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.
