Nonviolence to be a creed has to be all-pervasive.
Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.
You cannot neglect the nearer duty for the sake of a remote.
Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.
Where there is no strength of mind there can be no strength of soul.
I do not want to live at the cost of the life even of a snake. I should let him bite me to death rather than kill him.
