Khaddar is an activity that can absorb all the time of all available men and women and grown-up children, if they have faith.

The first condition of nonviolence is justice all round, in every department of life.

Service without humility is selfishness and egotism.

For a satyagrahi brigade only those are eligible who believe in ahimsa and satya.

Intellect takes us along in the battle of life to a certain limit, but at the crucial moment it fails us. Faith transcends reason. It is when the horizon is the darkest and human reason is beaten down to the ground that faith shines brightest and comes to our rescue.

Had we adopted non-violence as the weapon of the strong, because we realised that it was more effective than any other weapon, in fact the mightiest force in the world, we would have made use of its full potency and not have discarded it as soon as the fight against the British was over or we were in a position to wield conventional weapons. But as I have already said, we adopted it out of our helplessness. If we had the atom bomb, we would have used it against the British.

Look at the sparrows; they do not know what they will do in the next moment. Let us literally live from moment to moment.
