The pure love of one soul can offset the hatred of millions.

There is no hope for the aching world except through the narrow and straight path of nonviolence.

Conquer the heart of the enemy with truth and love, not by violence.

We stand on the threshold of a twilight-whether morning or evening we do not know. One is followed by the night, the other heralds the dawn.

The science of war leads one to dictatorship, pure and simple. The science of non-violence alone can lead one to pure democracy. Power based on love is thousand times more effective and permanent than power derived from fear of punishment. It is a blasphemy to say non-violence can be practiced only by individuals and never by nations which are composed of individuals. The nearest approach to purest anarchy would be a democracy based on non-violence. A society organized and run on the basis of complete non-violence would be the purest anarchy.

I am conscious of my own limitations. That consciousness is my only strength.

The weak can never forgive.
