Freedom of worship, even of public speech, would become a farce if interference became the order of the day.

India has an unbroken tradition of nonviolence from times immemorial.

Surely, conversion is a matter between man and his Maker who alone knows His creatures' hearts.

Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.

If my nonviolence is to be contagious and infectious, I must acquire greater control over my thoughts.

I shall despair when I despair of myself, of God and humanity.

I believe in the doctrine of non-violence as a weapon of the weak. I believe in the doctrine of non-violence as a weapon of the strongest. I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.
