I am a Hindu by birth. And yet I do not know much of Hinduism, and I know less of other religions. In fact I do not know where I am, and what is and what should be my belief. I intend to make a careful study of my own religion and, as far as I can, of others.

For me popular violence is as much an obstruction in our path as the Government violence.

In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.

I would risk violence a thousand times rather than risk the emasculation of the whole race.

My attempt and prayer are and will be for an honorable peace between belligerent nations in the least possible time.

Nonviolence which to me is the glory of Hinduism, has been sought to be explained away by our people as being meant for the sanyasis only.

Fear of disease killed more men than disease itself.
