After long study and experience, I have come to the conclusion that (1) all religions are true; (2) all religions have some error in them; (3) all religions are almost as dear to me as my own Hinduism, in as much as all human beings should be as dear to one as one's own close relatives.

If we all discharge our duties, rights will not be far to seek. If leaving duties unperformed we run after rights, they will escape us like a will-o'-the-wisp.

Human society is a ceaseless growth, and unfoldment in terms of spirituality.

If all were nonviolent, there would be no anarchy and there would be no question of anybody being armed for meeting aggression from without.

A wretched parent who claims obedience from his children, without first doing his duty by them, excites nothing but contempt.

External fears cease of their own accord when once we have conquered these traitors within the camp.

My idea of society is that while we are born equal, meaning that we have a right to equal opportunity, all have not the same capacity.
