cannot subscribe to.

When Americans come and ask me what service they can render, I tell them: If you dangle
your millions before us, you will make beggars of us and demoralize us. But in one thing I do

engineers and agricultural experts to place their services at our disposal. They must not come
to us as our lords and masters but as voluntary workers.

Mahatma Gandhi

Whenever I see an erring man, I say to myself: "I have also erred;" when I see a lustful man,
I say to myself: "So was I once;" and in this way I feel kinship with everyone in the world and
feel that I cannot be happy without the humblest of us being happy.
Mahatma Gandhi

A man is but a product of his thoughts; what he thinks, that he becomes.
