I came alone in this world, I have walked alone in the valley of the shadow of death, and I shall quit alone when the time comes.

My Hindu instinct tells me that all religions are more or less true.

We must be ever courteous and patient with those who do not see eye to eye with us. We must resolutely refuse to consider our opponents as enemies.

The quest of Truth involves tapas-self-suffering-sometimes even unto death.

You can return blow for blow if you are not brave enough to follow the path of nonviolence.

A thousand candles can be lighted from the flame of one candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness can be spread without diminishing that of yourself.

If my nonviolence is to be contagious and infectious, I must acquire greater control over my thoughts.
