"If as a member of a slave..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being.”

“Free, open love I have looked upon as dog's love. Secret love is, besides, cowardly.”

“There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent.”

“Which is heavier: a soldier's pack or a slave's chains?”

“The weak have no place here, in this life or any other life. Weakness leads to slavery. Weakness leads to all kinds of misery, physical and mental. Weakness is death.”

“Now what is Judge Douglas Popular Sovereignty? It is, as a principle, no other than that, if one man chooses to make a slave of another man, neither that other man nor anybody else has a right to object.”

“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.”

“A community of small farmers... land property owners, will be the only assurance that the freedom our republic offers will be guaranteed to each and every citizen.”

“It took six weeks of debate in the Senate to get the Arms Embargo Law repealed--and we face other delays during the present session because most of the Members of the Congress are thinking in terms of next Autumn's election. However, that is one of the prices that we who live in democracies have to pay. It is, however, worth paying, if all of us can avoid the type of government under which the unfortunate population of Germany and Russia must exist.”
