A satyagrahi, whilst he is ever ready to fight, must be equally eager for peace.

I know that I have still before me a difficult path to traverse. I must reduce myself to zero. So long as a man does not of his own free will put himself last among his fellow creatures, there is no salvation for him. Ahimsa is the farthest limit of humility.

A man like me cannot but believe that this earthquake is a divine chastisement sent by God for our sins.

God alone is immortal, imperishable.

There must be power in the word of a satyagraha general, not the power that the possession of limitless arms gives, but the power that purifies life which strict vigilance and a ceaseless application produce.

For me nonviolence is a creed. I must act up to it, whether I am alone or have companions.

To see the universal and all-pervading Spirit of Truth face to face, one must be able to love the meanest of all creation as oneself.
