"Education without courage is like a wax..." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

“A satyagrahi lays down his life, but never gives up. That is the meaning of the 'do or die' slogan.”

“All education in a country has got to be demonstrably in promotion of the progress of the country in which it is given.”

“A smattering of English is worse than useless; it is an unnecessary tax on our women.”

“Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.”

“I am an expert of electricity. My father occupied the chair of applied electricity at the state prison.”

“The value of a dollar is to buy just things; a dollar goes on increasing in value with all the genius and all the virtue of the world. A dollar in a university is worth more than a dollar in a jail; in a temperate, schooled, law-abiding community than in some sink of crime, where dice, knives, and arsenic are in constant play.”

“Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did.”

“They're only words. You can't be afraid of words that speak the truth, even if it's an unpleasant truth.”

“I don't mean to say that I'm about to state my credo here on this page, but merely to affirm, sincerely for the first time in my life, my belief in man as an individual and independent entity. Certainly not independence in the everyday sense of the word, but pertaining to a freedom and mobility of thought that few people are able - or even have the courage - to achieve.”
