In the midst of death life persists.

No empire intoxicated with the red wine of power and the plunder of weaker races has yet lived long in this world.

It is the acid test of nonviolence that in a nonviolent conflict there is no rancor left behind, and in the end the enemies are converted into friends.

I believe in conversion of mankind, not its destruction.

We have to make truth and non-violence not matters for mere individual practice but for practice by groups and communities and nations. That at any rate is my dream. I shall live and die in trying to realize it. My faith helps me to discover new truths every day.

Fear has its use but cowardice has none.

Violent men have not been known in history to die to a man. They die up to a point.
