A clean confession combined with a promise never to commit the sin again, when offered before one who has the right to receive it, is the purest type of repentance.

Like the watch, the heart needs the winding of purity, or the Dweller ceases to speak.

It is an ever-growing belief with me that truth cannot be found by violent means.

It is derogatory to the dignity of mankind, it is derogatory to the dignity of India, to entertain for one single moment hatred towards Englishmen.

The fullest life is impossible without an immovable belief in a Living Law in obedience to which the whole universe moves.

It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.

Independence of my conception means nothing less than the realization of the "Kingdom of God" within you and on this earth.
