We are all very imperfect and weak things, and if we are to destroy all whose ways we do not like, there will be not a man left alive.

For me the present is merged in eternity. I may not sacrifice the latter for the present.

True ahimsa should mean a complete freedom from ill-will and anger and hate and an overflowing love for all.

For Hindus to expect Islam, Christianity or Zoroastrianism to be driven out of India is as idle a dream as it would be for Mussalmans to have only Islam of their imagination rule the world.

Truth stands for the fact, nonviolence negates the fact.

Ahimsa and love are one and the same thing.

Destruction is not the law of humans. Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him. Every murder or other injury, no matter for what cause, committed or inflicted on another is a crime against humanity.
