My idea of village SWARAJ is that is a complete republic, independent of its neighbors for its own vital wants, and yet interdependent for many others which dependence is a necessity.

If I could persuade myself that I could find Him in a Himalayan cave I would proceed there immediately.

True ahimsa should mean a complete freedom from ill-will and anger and hate and an overflowing love for all.

So long as we fear the outside world, we must cease to think of Swaraj.

The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane.

I condemn, for all climes and for all times, secret murders and unfair methods even for a fair cause.

There is no such thing as slow freedom. Freedom is like a birth. Till we are fully free we are slaves. All birth takes place in a moment.
