Gandhi stressed the importance of being resolute in one’s determinations: “A man who says that he will do something ‘as far as possible’ betrays either his pride or his weakness, though he himself may attribute it to his humility. There is, in fact, not a trace of humility in such an attitude of mind.” In short, he asserts that someone who makes halfhearted pronouncements is either arrogant or cowardly.
