It is my unshakable belief that India's destiny is to deliver the message of nonviolence to mankind.

The music of the spinning wheel will be as balm to your soul.

Do not worry about what others are doing! Each of us should turn the searchlight inward and purify his or her own heart as much as possible.

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.

The privilege of resisting or disobeying a particular law or order accrues only to him who gives willing and unswerving obedience to the laws laid down for him.

What can be richer and more fruitful than a greater fulfillment of the vow of nonviolence in thought, word and deed or the spread of that spirit?

My nationalism, fierce though it is, is not exclusive, is not devised to harm any nation or individual.
