I was a co-operator too in the sense that I non-co-operated for co-operation, and even then I said that if I could carry the country forward by co-operation I should co-operate.
Mahatma Gandhi
Mother cow is as useful dead as when she is alive.
Mahatma Gandhi
Bravery is not a quality of the body. It is of the soul.
