The nonviolence I teach is active nonviolence of the strongest. But the weakest can partake in it without becoming weaker.

Proved right should be capable of being vindicated by right means as against the rude i.e. sanguinary means. Man may and should shed his own blood for establishing what he considers to be his right. He may not shed the blood of his opponent who disputes his 'right'.

The socialism that India can assimilate is the socialism of the spinning wheel.

No charter of freedom will be worth looking at which does not ensure the same measure of freedom for the minorities as for the majority.

The spinning wheel is the one thing to which all must turn to in the Indian clime for the transition stage at any rate and the vast majority must for all time.

Every calamity should lead to a thorough cleansing of individual as well as social life.

If I could wake all of the women of Asia, India could be won in a day.
