I do not grudge the prince his palace and the millionaire his mansion, but it is my earnest request to them to do something to bridge the gulf that separates them from the peasant. Let them construct a bridge that would bring them closer to the poor agriculturist. Let their lives bear some proportion to the lives of the poor around them.

A nation may do without its millionaires and without its capitalists, but a nation can never do without its labor.

MACHINES AND INDUSTRIALIZATION

I know that there are friends who laugh at this attempt to revive this great art [hand spinning]. They remind me that, in these days of mills, sewing machines or typewriters, only a lunatic can hope to succeed in reviving the rusticated spinning wheel. These friends forget that the needle has not yet given place to the sewing machine nor has the hand lost its cunning in spite of the typewriter. There is not the slightest reason why the spinning wheel may not co-exist with the spinning mill even as the domestic kitchen co-exists with the hotels. Indeed, typewriters and sewing machines may go, but the needle and the reed pen will survive.
