Forgiveness is the virtue of the brave.

Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. Non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. Non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. Non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. Perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. Non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.

No perfect democracy is possible without perfect nonviolence at the back of it.

Ahimsa must express itself through acts of selfless service of the masses.

A customer is the most important visitor on our premises, he is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him.

It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom.

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