Mahatma Gandhi Occupation Quotations

Ours is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.

The function of Nayee-Talim is not to teach an occupation, but through it to develop the whole man.

A nonviolent occupation is that occupation which is fundamentally free from violence and which involves no exploitation or envy of others.
