I have described Swaraj as Ramarajya and Ramarajya is an impossibility unless we have thousands of Sitas.

A man of God never strives after untruth and therefore he can never lose hope.

Faith is a function of the heart.

I cannot imagine anything nobler or more national than that for, say, one hour in the day we should all do the labor the poor must do, and thus identify ourselves with them and through them, with all mankind.

If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.

Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.

You cannot stop big wars if you carry on little wars yourselves.
