True independence is not a gift to be received. It can't be a hand-out to people. It must be an achievement by the people.

A worker in the rural reconstruction must have: The body of an athlete The attitude of a teacher The mind of a scientist The heart of a missionary The spirit of a crusader.

Go to the people and live among them in order to know them and learn from them.

When we talk about democracy, if the people's stomach is empty, democracy is also empty. Democracy can not be installed by fiat; it must be achieved by the people themselves.

I must dedicate my life to teaching my people, for only education would make their lot less bitter, their latent power more strong.

The people are the foundation of the nation. Our only chance for a lasting peace on earth: the release of the strength of the common man.

Relief has its place. But what the people need is not relief, but release - release of their own potential for development.
