Truth (satya) is positive, nonviolence is negative.

What is a war criminal? Was not war itself a crime against God and humanity, and, therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered, and conducted wars, war criminals? War criminals are not confined to the Axis Powers alone. Roosevelt and Churchill are no less war criminals than Hitler and Mussolini. England, America and Russia have all of them got their hands dyed more or less red - not merely Germany and Japan.

When two nations are fighting, the duty of a votary of ahimsa is to stop the war.

Non-violence ... is the only thing that the atom bomb cannot destroy.

The spinning wheel is the one thing to which all must turn to in the Indian clime for the transition stage at any rate and the vast majority must for all time.

I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

It was our love of foreign cloth that ousted the wheel from its position of dignity.
