Violent means will give violent swaraj. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself.

If we remain nonviolent, hatred will die as everything does from disuse.

If we are to make progress, we must not repeat history but make new history. We must add to inheritance left by our ancestors.

The attainment of national independence is to me a search for truth.

Nonviolence cannot be learnt by staying at home.

I hold that the world is sick of armed rebellions.

Silence is a great help to a seeker after truth like myself.
