The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.

I am the only one, whom you may find it hard to get rid of, for I have always counted myself as a woman.

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?

Liberty is a dearly bought commodity and prisons are factories where it is manufactured.

Total nonviolent non-cooperation has no place in popular Raj, whatever its level may be.

We are too near the scene of tragedy to realize that this canker or untouchability has traveled far beyond its prescribed limits and has sapped the very foundation of the whole nation.

Openness of mind strengthens the truth in us and removes the dross from it, if there is any.
