Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 - Norm Phelps serveg Thursday, March 08, 2007 6:04 PM RE: SERV> RFI: Origin of this quote: I have been searching for it for years, without result. Which is why I never use it. Some time back, I came across an article (the name and author of which I now forget) that sourced it to Young India, the newspaper that Gandhi published from 1919 to 1932, but it wasn't identified as to article, issue, or date, so that was no help. As I'm sure you know, Wikiquote categorizes it as " Unsourced. " I have to wonder if it may not be apocryphal, like DaVinci's quote about the time will come when men such as myself will regard the killing of animals as they now regard the killing of human beings; the St. Francis quote about the need to be of service to animals whenever they require it; and the Chief Seattle quote about the environment. If you do find a source, or if anyone else knows the source, I would be grateful if you could pass it along to me. Many thanks.
