If untouchability lives, Hinduism perishes and even India perishes, but if untouchability is eradicated from the Hindu heart, root and branch, then Hinduism has a definite message for the world.

Truth is God, and truth overrides all our plans.

The most practical, the most dignified way of going on in the world is to take people at their word, when you have no positive reason to the contrary.

A nonviolent system of government is clearly an impossibility so long as the wide gulf between the rich and the hungry millions persists.

My life is my message.

I shall content myself with merely declaring my firm conviction that, for the seeker who would live in fear of God and who would see Him face to face, restraint in diet both as to quantity and quality is as essential as restraint in thought and speech.

Disobedience that is wholly civil should never provoke retaliation.
