God is the hardest taskmaster I have known on this earth, and he tries you through and through. And when you find that your faith is failing or your body is failing you, and you are sinking, he comes to your assistance somehow or other and proves to you that you must not lose your faith and that he is always at your beck and call, but on his terms, not on your terms. So I have found. I cannot really recall a single instance when, at the eleventh hour, he has forsaken me.

Be the change that you want to see

Abstract truth has no value unless it incarnates in human beings who represent it, by proving their readiness to die for it.

My whole soul rebels against the idea that Hinduism and Islam represent two antagonistic cultures and doctrines.

Jesus was the most active resister known to history. His was nonviolence par excellence.

The Swaraj of my dream is the poor man's Swaraj.

Unless you go on discovering new applications of the law of nonviolence, you do not profit by it.
