That Which You Look Upon

... Man Was Not Born A Carnivorous Animal, But Born To Live On The Fruits And Herbs That The Earth Grows. I Know We Must All Err. I Would Give Up Milk If I Could, But I Cannot. I Have Made That Experiment Times Without Number. I Could Not, After A Serious Illness, Regain My Strength, Unless I Went Back To Milk. That Has Been The Tragedy Of My Life. But The Basis Of My Vegetarianism Is Not Physical, But Moral. If Anybody Said That I Should Die If I Did Not Take Beef Tea Or Mutton, Even On Medical Advice, I Would Prefer Death. That Is The Basis Of My Vegetarianism.

I Have Found That Life Persists In The Midst Of Destruction And, Therefore, There Must Be A Higher Law Than That Of Destruction. Only Under That Law Would A Well-ordered Society Be Intelligible And Life Worth Living.

Service Is Not Possible Unless It Is Rooted In Love Orahimsa.

Bravery Is Not Man's Monopoly.

Democracy, Disciplined And Enlightened, Is The Finest Thing In The World.
