All my experiments in Ahimsa have taught me that nonviolence in practice means common labour with the body.

That we should obey laws whether good or bad is a new-fangled notion. There was no such thing in former days. The people disregarded those laws they did not like and suffered the penalties for their breach.

Is not labour, like learning, its own reward?

It is degrading both for man and woman that woman should be called upon or induced to forsake the hearth and shoulder the rifle for the protection of that hearth.

A man who has broken with his past feels a different man. He will not feel it a shame to confess his past wrongs, for the simple reason that these wrongs do not touch him at all.

I think it would be an excellent idea.

My nonviolence is made of stern stuff. It is firmer than the firmest metal known to scientists.
