"A plea for the spinning wheel is..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“It was our love of foreign cloth that ousted the wheel from its position of dignity.”

“Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.”

“There is no such thing as 'Gandhism', and I do not want to leave any sect after me.”

“Roughly speaking, the more one pays for food, the more sweat and spittle one is obliged to eat with it.... Dirtiness is inherent in hotels and restaurants, because sound food is sacrificed to punctuality and smartness.”

“The general desire of men to live by their heads rather than their hands, and the strong allurements of great cities to those who have any turn for dissipation, threaten to make them here, as in Europe, the sinks of voluntary misery.”

“Labor leaders don't do much laboring after they are able to lead.”

“There is nothing in all the world greater than freedom. It is worth paying for; it is worth going to jail for. I would rather be a free pauper than a rich slave. I would rather die in abject poverty with my convictions than live in inordinate riches with the lack of self respect.”

“The little man is still a man.”

“originality and a feeling of one's own dignity are achieved only through work and struggle.”
