My implicit faith in nonviolence does mean yielding to minorities when they are really weak.

I have pinned my faith to the spinning wheel. On it, I believe, the salvation of this country depends.

My ahimsa is my own. I am not able to accept in its entirety the doctrine of non-killing of animals.

A full and candid admission of one's mistakes should make proof against its repetition.

Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time. I must continue to bear testimony to truth even if I am forsaken by all. Mine may today be a voice in the wilderness, but it will be heard when all other voices are silenced, if it is the voice of Truth.

We must be ever courteous and patient with those who do not see eye to eye with us. We must resolutely refuse to consider our opponents as enemies.

He who spins before the poor, inviting them to do likewise, serves God as no one else does.
