There is always enough for the needy, there is never enough for the greedy.

Even a believer in nonviolence has to say between two combatants which is less bad or whose cause is just.

I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonour.
