I cannot picture to myself a time when all mankind will have one religion.

Everyone has faith in God though everyone does not know it. For everyone has faith in himself and that multiplied to the nth degree is God. The sum total of all that lives is God. We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean.

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.

For me the only certain means of knowing God is nonviolence, ahimsa, love.

Man and his deed are two distinct things. Whereas a good deed should call forth approbation and a wicked deed dis-approbation, the doer of the deed, whether good or wicked always deserves respect or pity as the case may be. Hate the sin and not the sinner is a precept which though easy enough to understand is rarely practised, and that is why the poison of hatred spreads in the world.

Satyagraha, of which civil resistance is but a part, is to me the universal law of life.

My dictionary has no such expression as a violent fight.
