"Civilization is that mode of conduct which..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“Restore the spinning wheel to its place and you will solve the problem of poverty.”

“If intellect plays a large part in the field of violence, I hold that it plays a larger part in the field of nonviolence.”

“Justice does not help those who slumber but helps only those who are vigilant.”

“As long as civilization is essentially one of property, of fences, of exclusiveness, it will be mocked by delusions. Our riches will leave us sick; there will be bitterness in our laughter, and our wine will burn our mouth. Only that good profits which we can taste with all doors open, and which serves all men.”

“It was the Law of the Sea, they said. Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top.”

“[A] world in which it is wrong to murder an individual civilian and right to drop a thousand tons of high explosive on a residential area does sometimes make me wonder whether this earth of ours is not a loony bin made use of by some other planet. Not to have a national anthem would be logical.”

“Yajna having come to us with our birth, we are debtors all our lives, and thus for ever bound to serve the universe.”

“Freedom is not the right to do what we want, but what we ought”

“So long as the millions live in hunger and ignorance, I hold every man a traitor who, having been educated at their expense, pays not the least heed to them.”
