Men Giving Fame

More From Mahatma Gandhi

One ideological claim is that private property is theft, that the natural product of the existence of property is evil, and that private ownership therefore should not exist... what those who feel this way don't realize is that property is a notion that has to do with control - that property is a system for the disposal of power. the absence of property almost always means the concentration of power in the state.

The goals we pursue are always veiled. a girl who longs for marriage longs for something she knows nothing about. the boy who hankers after fame has no idea what fame is. the thing that gives our every move its meaning is always totally unknown to us.

The desire of posthumous fame and the dread of posthumous reproach and execration are feelings from the influence of which scarcely any man is perfectly free, and which in many men are powerful and constant motives of action.
Powerful Men Feelings
In the latter sense, a man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them. he has a property of peculiar value in his religious opinions, and in the profession and practice dictated by them. he has an equal property in the free use of his faculties and free choice of the objects on which to employ them. in a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.
Religious Communication Men
In civilized communities, property as well as personal rights is an essential object of the laws, which encourage industry by securing the enjoyment of its fruits; that industry from which property results, and that enjoyment which consists not merely in its immediate use, but in its posthumous destination to objects of choice, and of kindred affection. in a just and free government, therefore, the rights both of property and of persons ought to be effectually guarded.
Freedom Law Rights
It is a moot question whether the origin of any kind of property is derived from nature at all. it is agreed by those who have seriously considered the subject that no individual has, of natural right, a separate property in an acre of land, for instance. by a universal law, indeed, whatever, whether fixed or movable, belongs to all men equally and in common is the property for the moment of him who occupies it; but when he relinquishes the occupation, the property goes with it. stable ownership is the gift of social law, and is given late in the progress of society.

He that would be a great man must learn to turn every accident to some advantage.
Men Would Be Advantage
Men are not flattered by being shown that there has been a difference of purpose between the almighty and them. to deny it, however, in this case, is to deny that there is a god governing the world. it is a truth which i thought needed to be told; and as whatever of humilation there is in it, falls most directly on myself, i thought others might afford for me to tell it.

God, why does a mortal man have children? it is senseless to love anything this much.

More men than women like 'strangers with candy'. pretty girls don't like the show. they don't like to see an ugly lady.
