The Swaraj of my dream is the poor man's Swaraj.
My own opinion is that just as fundamentally man and woman are one, their problems must be one in essence.
I must refuse to believe that the Germans contemplate with equanimity the evacuation of cities like London for fear of destruction to be wrought by man's inhuman ingenuity.
Man cannot be transformed from bad to good overnight.
No man could look upon another as his enemy, unless he first became his own enemy.
Man has regarded woman as his tool. She has learnt to be his tool and in the end found it is easy and pleasurable to be such, because when one drags another in his fall, the descent is easy.
Men to be men must be able to trust their womenfolk, even as the latter are compelled to trust them.
Man is born of woman, he is flesh of her flesh and bone of her bone.
A man or a woman who serves the country with all his or her heart stands on par with the tallest Congress-man.
Man is oftentimes weak-minded enough to be caught in the snare of greed and honeyed words.
Man is not to drown himself in the well of the Shastras, but he is to dive in their broad ocean and bring out pearls.
A man can give up a right, but he may not give up a duty without being guilty of a grave dereliction.
Bravery is not man's monopoly.
Nonviolence is the virtue of the manly. The coward is innocent of it.
