I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

Democracy can only represent the average if not less than the average.

Man has always desired power. Ownership of property gives this power. Man hankers also after posthumous fame based on power.

Untouchability is a terrible reality.

Unless we are able to evolve a spirit of mutual tolerance for diametrically opposite views, non co-operation is an impossibility.

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

Nothing is impossible for pure love.
