All I want to say, with the utmost emphasis at my command, is that the description of India as a military country is wrong.

I have been repeating over and over again that he who cannot protect himself or his nearest and dearest or their honour by non-violently facing death may and ought to do so by violently dealing with the oppressor. He who can do neither of the two is a burden. He has no business to be the head of a family. He must either hide himself, or must rest content to live for ever in helplessness and be prepared to crawl like a worm at the bidding of a bully.

My religion enables me, obliges me to imbibe all that is good in all the great religions of the earth.

Retaliation is counter-poison and poison breeds more poison. The nectar of Love alone can destroy the poison of hate.

A satyagrahi is dead to his body even before the enemy attempts to kill him.

Obedience to the law of bread labour will bring about a silent revolution in the structure of society.

Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love.
