Boycott of foreign cloth through picketing may easily be violent; through the use of khadi it is most natural and absolutely nonviolent.

Start changing yourself if you want to change the life around you.

Just as the body cannot exist without blood, so the soul needs the matchless and pure strength of faith.

Children inherit the qualities of the parents, no less than their physical features. Environment does play an important part, but the original capital on which a child starts in life is inherited from its ancestors. I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.

The Charkha, which is the embodiment of willing obedience and calm persistence, must therefore succeed before there is civil disobedience.

The power of unarmed nonviolence is any day far superior to that of armed force.

A nonviolent action accompanied by nonviolence in thought and word should never produce enduring violent reaction upon the opponent.
