So far as I can see, the atomic bomb has deadened the finest feeling that has sustained for ages. There used to be so-called laws of war, which made it tolerable. Now we know the truth. War knows no law except that of might. The atomic bomb brought an empty victory but it resulted for the time being in destroying the soul of Japan. What has happened to the soul of the destroying nation is yet too early to see.

I see neither bravery nor sacrifice in destroying life or property, for offense or defense.

When real independence comes to India, the Congress and the League will be nowhere unless they represent the real opinion of the country.

A prayerful study and experience are essential for a correct interpretation of the scriptures.

I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.

I shall never know God if I do not wrestle with and against evil, even at the cost of life itself.

The fight of satyagraha is for the strong in spirit, not the doubter or the timid. Satyagraha teaches us the art of living as well as dying.
