I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.

Khadi has been conceived as the foundation and the image of ahimsa. A real khadi-wearer will not utter an untruth. A real khadi-wearer will harbour no violence, no deceit, no impurity.

Truth and nonviolence are perhaps the activest forces you have in the world.

The earth has enough resources for our need, but not for our greed.

Even as a tree has a single trunk, but many branches and leaves, there is one religion but any number of faiths.

For me nonviolence is a creed. I must act up to it, whether I am alone or have companions.

God is not a Power residing in the clouds. He is an unseen Power residing within us and nearer to us than finger nails to the flesh.
