The purpose of life is undoubtedly to know oneself. We cannot do it unless we learn to identify ourselves with all that lives. The sum-total of that life is God.

Individual civil disobedience was everybody's inherent right, like the right of self-defence in normal life.

Employers ganging up against workers is like raising an army of elephants against ants.

All religions are branches of the same mighty tree, but I must not change over from one branch to another for the sake of expediency.

If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?
