If God holds me to be a pure instrument for the spread of nonviolence in place of the awful violence now ruling the earth, He will give me the strength and show me the way.

I do believe that ideas ripen quickly when nourished by the blood of martyrs.

Non-cooperation is directed not against men but against measures. It is not directed against the Governors, but against the system they administer. The roots of non-cooperation lies not in hatred but in justice if not in love.

Violent means will give violent freedom.

The Charkha is an outward symbol of truth and nonviolence.

Bravery is not a quality of the body. It is of the soul.

Violence is a concession to human weakness, satyagraha is an obligation.
