When a man gives way to anger, he only harms himself.

A nonviolent action accompanied by nonviolence in thought and word should never produce enduring violent reaction upon the opponent.

We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse, the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.

We are too near the scene of tragedy to realize that this canker or untouchability has traveled far beyond its prescribed limits and has sapped the very foundation of the whole nation.

There is no love where there is no will

Golden fetters are no less galling to a self-respecting man that iron ones; the sting lies in the fetters, not in the metal.

I regard untouchability as such a grave sin as to warrant divine chastisement.
