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

A good person will resist an evil system with his whole soul. Disobedience of the laws of an evil state is therefore a duty.

It was not through democratic methods that Britain bagged India.

I crave to die with my hand at the spinning wheel.

There is little that separates humans from other sentient beings - we all feel joy, we all deeply crave to be alive and to live freely, and we all share this planet together.

We want freedom for our country, but not at the expense or exploitation of others, not so as to degrade other countries.

Means are not to be distinguished from ends. If violent means are used, there will be bad results.
