Prayer is no mere exercise of words or of the ears, it is no mere repetition of empty formula.

Nonviolence is a quality not of the body but of the soul.

I can not give you the reference of Ram Chandar or Krishna, because they were not historical figures. I can not help it but to present to you the names of (Hazrat) Abu Bakar (RA) and (Hazrat) Umar Farooq (RA). They were leaders of a vast Empire, yet they lived a life of austerity.

I am not anti-English, I am not anti-British, I am not anti-any Government, but I am anti-untruth, anti-humbug and anti-injustice.

My soul refuses to be satisfied so long as it is a helpless witness of a single wrong or a single misery.

If we want Swaraj to be built on non-violence, we will have to give the villages their proper place.

Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy.
