The Congress fights not with violent but with nonviolent means, however imperfect, however crude the nonviolence may be.

A person who has truly realized the principle of nonviolence has the God given strength for his weapon, and the world has not yet known anything that can match it.

Hinduism is a living organism liable to growth and decay subject to the laws of Nature. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. The changes in the season affect it. It has its autumn and its summer, its winter and its spring. It is, and is not, based on scriptures. It does not derive its authority from one book. Non violence has found the highest expression and application in Hinduism.

The mice which helplessly find themselves between the cats teeth acquire no merit from their enforced sacrifice.

Indeed, one perfect resister is enough to win the battle of Right against Wrong.

In a nonviolent army, the general and the officers are elected, or are as if elected, when their authority is moral and rests solely on the willing obedience of the rank and file.

The power of nonviolent resistance can only come from honest working of the constructive programme.
