Belief in one God is the cornerstone of all religions.

What is gained by violence must be lost before superior violence.

Real power does not consist in the ability to inflict capital punishment upon the subjects, but in the will and the ability to protect the subjects against the world.

The power of nonviolent resistance can only come from honest working of the constructive programme.

It is a first class human tragedy that people of the earth who claim to believe in the message of Jesus, whom they describe as the Prince of Peace, show little of that belief in actual practice.

Just as there are signs by which you can recognize violence with the naked eye, so is the spinning wheel to me a decisive sign of nonviolence.

I would risk violence a thousand times rather than risk the emasculation of the whole race.
