If it is man's privilege to be independent, it is equally his duty to be inter - dependent.

Through Khadi we teach the people the art of civil obedience to an institution which they have built up for themselves.

Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being.

There must be power in the word of a satyagraha general, not the power that the possession of limitless arms gives, but the power that purifies life which strict vigilance and a ceaseless application produce.

The truth is to be found nowhere else other than within ourselves.

H. G. Wells was not the only one to mention Churchill and Hitler in the same breath: "Churchill and Hitler are striving to change the nature of their respective countrymen by forcing and hammering violent methods on them. Man may be suppressed in this manner but he cannot be changed. Ahimsa [non-violence in the Hindu tradition], on the other hand, can change human nature and sooner than men like Churchill and Hitler."

Truth and nonviolence are as old as the hills.
