Seeming failure is not of the law of satyagrahabut of incompetence of the satyagrahi by whatever cause induced.
Mahatma GandhiComplete independence will be complete only to the extent of our approach in practice to truth and nonviolence.
Mahatma GandhiI 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.
Mahatma GandhiInterdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being. Without interrelation with society he cannot realize his oneness with the universe or suppress his egotism. His social interdependence enables him to test his faith and to prove himself on the touchstone of reality.
