“I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor…
But I believe that nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment… A mouse hardly forgives a cat when it allows itself to be torn to pieces by her… I do not believe myself to be a helpless creature. Only I want to use India's and my strength for better purpose…
Let me not be misunderstood. Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”
- Mohandas Gandhi, “The Doctrine of the Sword”, 1920

Voters commonly condemn politicians for being insincere, but politicians often must disguise their true feelings when they make public statements. if they expressed their honest views—about, say, their party's policies—then achieving politically necessary compromises would be much more difficult. clearly, the very insincerity that people decry shows that our government is functioning well. which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines this reasoning? (a) achieving political compromises is not all that is necessary for the proper functioning of a government. (b) some political compromises are not in the best long-term interest of the government. (c) voters often judge politicians by criteria other than the sincerity with which they express their views. (d) a political party's policies could turn out to be detrimental to the functioning of a government. (e) some of the public statements made by politicians about their party's policies could in fact be sincere.
