No Indian who aspires to follow the way of true religion can afford to remain aloof from politics.

The beauty of poetry is that the creation transcends the poet.

Unless nonviolence of the strong is really developed among us, there should be no thought of civil disobedience for Swaraj, whether within the states or in British India.

My knowledge of the letter of the Shastras is better, but of true religion they are able to give me but little.

I know nothing of the science of astrology and I consider it to be a science, if it is a science, of doubtful value, to be severely left alone by those who have any faith in Providence.

I want India to come into her own and that state cannot be better defined by any single word than Swaraj.

It is much more difficult to live for nonviolence than to die for it.
