Mahatma Gandhi Quotes, Opportunity Quotes, Gun Quotes

Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.

While I have often said that all men out to be free, yet I would allow those colored persons to be slaves who want to be; and next to them those white persons who argue in favor of making other people slaves. I am in favor of giving an opportunity to such white men to try it on for themselves.
