Recall the face of the poorest and weakest man you have seen, and ask yourself if this step you contemplate is going to be any use to him.
Mahatma Gandhi -
It is not a mistake to commit a mistake, for no one commits a mistake knowing it to be one. But it is a mistake not to correct the mistake after knowing it to be one. If you are afraid of committing a mistake, you are afraid of doing anything at all. You will correct your mistakes whenever you find them.

I find a solace a in the Bhagavadgita and Upanishads that I miss even in the Sermon on the Mount.

Soul-force comes only through God's grace and never descends upon a man who is a slave to lust.
Mahatma Gandhi -
We have to tackle the triple malady which holds our villages fast in its grip; want of corporate sanitation, deficient diet and inertia.
Mahatma Gandhi -
I have been repeating over and over again that he who cannot protect himself or his nearest and dearest or their honour by non-violently facing death may and ought to do so by violently dealing with the oppressor. He who can do neither of the two is a burden. He has no business to be the head of a family. He must either hide himself, or must rest content to live for ever in helplessness and be prepared to crawl like a worm at the bidding of a bully.
Mahatma Gandhi -
In this instance of the fire-arms, the Asiatic has been most improperly bracketed with the native. The British Indian does not need any such restrictions as are imposed by the Bill on the natives regarding the carrying of fire-arms. The prominent race can remain so by preventing the native from arming himself. Is there a slightest vestige of justification for so preventing the British Indian?

Events that have happened during the past month have confirmed me in the opinion that the Imperial Government have acted in the Khilafat matter in an unscrupulous, immoral and unjust manner and have been moving from wrong to wrong in order to defend their immorality. I can retain neither respect nor affection for such a Government. The attitude of the Imperial and Your Excellency's Governments on the Punjab question has given me additional cause for grave dissatisfaction.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Seek ye first the Charkha and its concomitants and everything else will be added unto you.
Mahatma Gandhi -
Armed conspiracies against something satanic is like matching Satans against Satan.
