True nonviolence is mightier than the mightiest violence.

I own no enemy on earth. That is my creed.

A dissolute character is more dissolute in thought than in deed. And the same is true of violence. Our violence in word and deed is but a feeble echo of the surging violence of thought in us.

Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.

I suggest that we are thieves in a way. If I take anything that I do not need for my own immediate use, and keep it, I thieve it from somebody else. ... Nature produces enough for our wants from day to day, and if only every-body took enough for himself and nothing more, there would be no pauperism in this world, there would be no man dying of starvation in this world. But so long as we have got this inequality, so long we are thieving.

Nonviolent non-co-operation, I am convinced, is a sacred duty at times.

So far as I can see the atomic bomb has deadened the finest feeling that has sustained mankind for ages.
