I consider writing as a fine art. We kill it by imposing the alphabet on little children and making it the beginning of learning.

I shall, of course, die with nonviolence on my lips.

We do not know whether it is good to live or to die. Therefore, we should not take delight in living, nor should we tremble at the thought of death. We should be equiminded towards death. This is the ideal. It may be long before we reach it, and only a few of us can attain it. Even then, we must keep it constantly in view, and the more difficult it seems of attainment, the greater should be the effort we put forth.

No religion taught man to kill fellowmen because he held different opinions or was of another religion.

Civilizations have come and gone and, in spite of our vaunted progress, I am tempted to ask again and again, 'To what purpose?'

God alone is immortal, imperishable.

Never make a promise in haste.
