Enter with me into the sufferings, not only of the people of India but of the whole world. Nonviolence is a more active and real fight against wickedness than retaliation whose very nature is to increase wickedness. It is not a weapon of the weak. It is a weapon of the strongest and bravest.

Ahimsa is the highest ideal. It is meant for the brave, never for the cowardly.

To a people famishing and idle, the only acceptable form in which God can dare appear is work and promise of food as wages.

The saving of labour of the individual should be the object and honest humanitarian considerations, and not greed, the motive.

In the midst of death life persists.

What senseless violence does is to prolong the lease of life of the British or foreign rule.

The force of the spirit is ever progressive and endless. Its full expression makes it unconquerable in the world.
