A satyagrahi exhausts all other means before he resorts to satyagraha.

Non-violence should never be used as a shield for cowardice. It is a weapon for the brave.

To say that a single human being, because of his birth, becomes an untouchable, unapproachable or invisible is to deny God.

Experience convinces me that permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth & violence. Even if my belief is a fond delusion, it will be admitted that it is a fascinating delusion.

God is not a person. God is an eternal principle.

God Himself has reserved no right of revision of His own laws nor is there any need for Him for any such revision.

I can no more preach nonviolence to a cowardly man than I can tempt a blind man to enjoy healthy scenes.
