Machinery to be well used has to help and ease human effort. The present use of machinery tends more and more to concentrate wealth in the hands of a few in total disregard of millions of men and women whose bread is snatched by it out of their mouths.

((Attenborough, R. (1982), The Words of Gandhi, New York: Newmarket Press, 31)

A true and non-violent combination of labour would act like a magnet attracting to it all the needed capital. Capitalists will then exist only as trustees. When that happy day dawns there would be no difference between capital and labour. Those who labour would have ample food, good and sanitary dwellings, all the necessary education for their children, ample leisure for self-education and proper medical assistance.

((Attenborough, R. (1982), The Words of Gandhi, New York: Newmarket Press, 33)

"What shall it avail a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?" In modern terms it is beneath human dignity to lose one's individuality and become a mere cog in a machine. I want every individual to become a full blooded, fully developed member of society.

((Attenborough, R. (1982), The Words of Gandhi, New York: Newmarket Press, 33)
