Perhaps the most anti-constitutional and anti-governmental remark if taken for the modern government.

GANDHI ON GOVERNMENT Government control gives rise to fraud, suppression of Truth, intensification of the black market and artificial scarcity. Above all, it unmans the people and deprives them of initiative, it undoes the teaching of self-help...I look upon an increase in the power of the State with the greatest fear because, although while apparently doing good by minimizing exploitation, it does the greatest harm to mankind by destroying individuality which liesat the heart of all progress...Among the many misdeeds of the British rulein India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest... . We find the generalwork of mankind is being carried on from day to day be the mass of people acting as if by instinct....If they were instinctively violent the world would end in no time...It is when the mass mind is unnaturally influenced by wicked men that the mass of mankind commit violence. But they forget it as they commit it because they return to their peaceful nature immediately the evil influenceof the directing mind has been removed....A government that is evil has no room for good men and women except in its prisons.
