Truth is as hard as adamant and tender as a blossom.

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

A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident.

Freedom of India will demonstrate to all the exploited races of the earth that their freedom is very near.

The true source of rights is duty.

The man who eats to live, who is friends with the five powers - earth, water, ether, sun and air - who is a servant of God, the Creator of all these, ought not to fall ill.

Whilst I may not actually help anyone to retaliate, I must not let a coward seek shelter behind nonviolence so-called. Not knowing the stuff of which nonviolence is made, many have honestly believed that running away from danger every time was a virtue compared to offering resistance, especially when it was fraught with danger to one's life. As a teacher of nonviolence I must, so far as it is possible for me, guard against such an unmanly belief.
