Nonviolence is impossible without humility.

Hinduism loses its right to make a universal appeal if it closes its temples to Harijans.

Nonviolence is the law of our species as violence is the law of the brute.

My love of nationalism is that my country may become free, and if need be, the whole of the country die, so that the human race may live.

My Hinduism teaches me to respect all religions. In this lies the secret of Ramarajya.

Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph: a beginning, a struggle, and a victory.
