I was listening to the radio over my morning coffee this morning when I heard that today is Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi‘s birthday. I thought I’d have a peek and see if Open Library holds references to any of his writings. Turns out we do.
From Third Class in Indian Railways, one of a short series of essays including The Moral Basis of Co-operation, published in 1917:

Or from A Guide To Health, published in 1921.
