I have even seen the writings suggesting that I am playing a deep game, that I am using the present turmoil to foist my fads on India, and am making religious experiments at India's expense. I can only answer that Satyagraha is made of sterner stuff. There is nothing reserved and nothing secret in it.

Nonviolence abhors fear and therefore, secrecy.

Truth and nonviolence demand that no human being may debar himself from serving any other human being, no matter how sinful he may be.

A dissolute character is more dissolute in thought than in deed. And the same is true of violence. Our violence in word and deed is but a feeble echo of the surging violence of thought in us.

I invite even the school of violence to give this peaceful non-co-operation a trial.

Every person, as every institution, and, above all, every religion is to be judged not by the amount of atrocities or the wrong committed but by the right conduct.

My effort should never be to undermine another's faith but to make him a better follower of his own faith.
