Nonviolence means an ocean of compassion. It means shedding from us every trace of ill will for others. It does not mean abjectness or timidity, or fleeing in fear. It means, on the contrary, firmness of mind and courage, a resolute spirit.

My effort should never be to undermine another's faith but to make him a better follower of his own faith.

National education to be truly national must reflect the national condition for the time being.

The purer I try to become, the nearer I feel to be to God.

If it is by force that we wish to achieve Swaraj, let us drop nonviolence and offer such violence as we may.

To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith.
