    My aim is not to be consistent with my previous statements on a given question, but to be consistent with the truth as it may present itself to me at a given moment. The result has been that I have grown from truth to truth.

    Some of the immediate and brilliant results of modern inventions are too maddening to resist. But I have no manner of doubt that the victory of man lies in that resistance. We are in danger of bartering away the permanent good for a momentary pleasure.

    People will never be able to live in peace with each other in towns and palaces. They will have no recourse but to resort to both violence and untruth. We can realize truth and nonviolence only in the simplicity of village life.
