Active nonviolence of the brave puts to flight thieves, dacoits, murderers, and prepares an army of volunteers ready to sacrifice themselves in quelling riots, in extinguishing fires and feuds, and so on.

Complete independence through truth and non-violence means the independence of every unit, be it the humblest of the nation, without distinction of race, colour or creed.

It was Ba's inspiration which helped me reach the heights of my inner self. She was my priceless jewel.

In the very act of my non-co-operation, I am seeking their co-operation in my campaign.

I would bend the knee before the poorest scavenger, the poorest untouchable in India for having participated in crushing him for centuries; I would even take the dust off his feet.

If people knew the working of the law of truth and nonviolence, then they would themselves regulate the matter of its shortage.

Yajna having come to us with our birth, we are debtors all our lives, and thus for ever bound to serve the universe.
