In the application of Satyagraha, I discovered, in the earliest stages, that pursuit of Truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy. For, what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of Truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent but one's own self.

Thanks to the Court's decision, only clean Indians (meaning upper caste Hindu Indians) or colored people other than Kaffirs, can now travel in the trains.

Nonviolence requires great patience.

It Is possible to live in peace.

Our peaceful non-co-operation must be constructive, non-destructive. Poison should not emerge from the throes of love.

Nonviolence is an attribute of the Almighty whose ways of fulfilling Himself are inscrutable.

The very essence of our civilization is that we give a paramount place to morality in all our affairs, public or private.
