The yajna of our age and for us is the spinning wheel.

Mahatma Gandhi

The spinning wheel is the auspicious symbol of sharir yajna, body labour.

Mahatma Gandhi

There is no yajna (sacrifice) greater than spinning calculated to bring peace to the troubled spirit, to soothe the distracted student's mind, to spiritualize his life.

Mahatma Gandhi

Yajna is not yajna if one feels it to be burdensome or annoying.

Mahatma Gandhi

I'm in the game of spinning plates. I'm spinning a boxing plate. I'm spinning a Tae Kwon Do plate. I'm spinning a Jujitsu plate. I'm spinning a freestyle wrestling plate. I'm spinning a karate plate. If I was to put all them down and have one boxing plate spinning, it would be like a load off my shoulders.

The world of time, of space and condition, pleasure and pain, birth, growth, maturation, decay and death, spinning, spinning, spinning this world, always spinning.

Frederick Lenz

The spinning wheel and the spinning wheel alone will solve, if anything will solve, the problem of the deepening poverty of India.

Mahatma Gandhi

The wheel [migration] has been spinning and spinning and spinning. Wouldn't it be nice to imagine a world where that circle stops spinning in that crazy way? Because that's a huge wheel that's crushing people's lives, real people's lives, families.

Hunger is the argument that is driving India to the spinning wheel.

Mahatma Gandhi

India does not need to become anything else. India must become only India. This is a country that once upon a time was called the golden bird.

Narendra Modi

India as a nation can live and die only for the spinning wheel.

Mahatma Gandhi

There is no better way of industrializing the villages of India than the spinning wheel.

Mahatma Gandhi

Since I’ve known you, you’ve been spinning and spinning and spinning into all these various personas, and none of this self-exploration and experimentation has given you a sense of peace. I’ve known you for six years, intimately for four, and I still have no idea who I’m in love with.

To my mind, there is no doubt that this Gandhi age is the dark age of India. It is an age in which people, instead of looking for their ideals in the future, are returning to antiquity.

B. R. Ambedkar

India does not need to become anything else. India must become only India. This is a country that once upon a time was called 'the golden bird'. We have fallen from where we were before. But now we have the chance to rise again. If you see the details of the last five or ten centuries, you will see that India and China have grown at similar paces. Their contributions to global GDP have risen in parallel, and fallen in parallel. Today's era once again belongs to Asia. India and China are both growing rapidly, together. That is why India needs to remain India.

Narendra Modi

If hand-spinning is an effective method of making India self-supporting, it must be made part of the franchise.
