Behind my non-cooperation there is always the keenest desire to cooperate on the slightest pretext even with the worst of opponents. To me, a very imperfect mortal, ever in need of God's grace, no one is beyond redemption.

Of all the evils for which man has made himself responsible, none is so degrading, so shocking, or so brutal as his abuse of the better half of humanity; to me, the female sex is not the weaker sex.

My attitude towards the British is one of utter friendliness and respect.

To forgive and accept injustice is cowardice.

Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him.

But success and failure are of no account. They are God's concern, not mine.

For me the only certain means of knowing God is nonviolence, ahimsa, love.
