If you must kill English officials, why not kill me instead?

I do not want a kingdom, or heaven; what I want is to remove the trouble of the oppressed, the poor, and the needy.

God accepts the sacrifice of the pure in heart.

A clean confession combined with a promise never to commit the sin again, when offered before one who has the right to receive it, is the purest type of repentance.

A little of true nonviolence acts in a silent, subtle, unseen way and leavens the whole society.

If you will express the requisite purity of character in action, you cannot do it better than through the spinning wheel.

We may not be God, but we are of God, even as a little drop of water is of the ocean.
