Conservation of national sanitation is Swaraj work and it may not be postponed for a single day on any consideration whatsoever.

I want India to come into her own and that state cannot be better defined by any single word than Swaraj.

My mission is to convert every Indian, every Englishman and finally the world to nonviolence for regulating mutual relations, whether political, economic, social or religious.

Fasting is futile unless it is accompanied by an incessant longing for self-restraint.

A nonviolent man cannot desire embarrassment.

Sorrow and suffering make for character if they are voluntarily borne, but not if they are imposed.

Dharma is that which is enjoined by the holy books, followed by the sages, interpreted by the learned and which appeals to the heart.
