I do not regard capital to be the enemy of labour.
Useful manual labour, intelligently performed, is the means par excellence for developing the intellect.
Unless our hands go hand in hand with our heads, we will be able to do nothing whatsoever.
The saving of labour of the individual should be the object and honest humanitarian considerations, and not greed, the motive.
There is a world-wide conflict between capital and labour, and the poor envy the rich.
No labour is too mean for one who wants to earn an honest penny.
Labour is a great leveler of all distinctions.
Labour is priceless, not gold.
Labour has its unique place in a cultured human family.
Is not labour, like learning, its own reward?
Every labourer is worthy of his hire. No country can produce thousands of unpaid whole-time workers.
Capital exploits the labour of a few to multiply itself.
Through Khadi we teach the people the art of civil obedience to an institution which they have built up for themselves.
The singular secret of khaddar lies in its saleability in the place of its production and use by the manufacturers themselves.
