The best politics is right action.

Man is not at peace with himself till he has become like unto God.

A truly nonviolent man would never live to tell the tale of atrocities. He would have laid down his life on the spot in non-violent resistance.

Disobedience that is wholly civil should never provoke retaliation.

And he who would be friends with God must remain alone, or make the whole world his friend

The Charkha, which is the embodiment of willing obedience and calm persistence, must therefore succeed before there is civil disobedience.

The chains of a slave are broken the moment he considers himself a free man.
