Events that have happened during the past month have confirmed me in the opinion that the Imperial Government have acted in the Khilafat matter in an unscrupulous, immoral and unjust manner and have been moving from wrong to wrong in order to defend their immorality. I can retain neither respect nor affection for such a Government. The attitude of the Imperial and Your Excellency's Governments on the Punjab question has given me additional cause for grave dissatisfaction.

The very first step in nonviolence is that we cultivate in our daily life, as between ourselves, truthfulness, humility, tolerance, loving kindness.

The ally we must cultivate is the part of our enemy which knows the truth.

Truth and untruth often co-exist; good and evil often are found together

Khaddar was conceived with a much more ambitious object, that is, to make our villages starvation-proof.

My fast is a matter between God and myself.

My commitment is to truth not consistency.
