In the initial stages…the cost of feeding people after taking work from them will be more than the cost of the present free kitchens. But…it will be cheaper in the long run, if we do not want to increase the race of loafers which is fast overrunning this land. I cannot picture to myself a time when no man shall be richer than another. But I do picture to myself a time when the rich will spurn to enrich themselves at the expense of the poor and the poor will cease to envy the rich. Even in a most perfect world we shall fail to avoid inequalities but we can and must avoid strife and bitterness."

Mahatma Gandhi

“If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear. ”
