My faith is brightest in the midst of impenetrable darkness.

I do not want my house to be rounded by walls and my windows to be closed to other cultures. I wish to become familiar with the culture of lands as much as possible but I will not permit them to affect me or shake me from my own status.

The soul of India lives in its villages.

Mere brave speech without action is letting off useless steam.

Nonviolence in politics is a new weapon in the process of evolution; its vast possibilities are yet unexplored.

If treachery is the reward of trust, will the man who trusts come to harm?

However much I may sympathise with and admire worthy motives, I am an uncompromising opponent of violent methods even to serve the noblest of causes.
