Man has reason, discrimination and free-will such as it is. The brute has no such thing. It is not a free agent, and knows no distinction between virtue and vice, good and evil. Man, being a free agent, knows these distinctions, and when he follows his higher nature, shows himself far superior to the brute, but when he follows his baser nature can show himself lower than the brute.

When we fear God, then we shall fear no man, however high-placed he may be.

Learning takes us through many states of life, but it fails utterly in the hour of danger and temptation. Then faith alone saves.

If we want Swaraj to be built on non-violence, we will have to give the villages their proper place.

Swaraj means ability to regard every inhabitant of India as our own brother or sister.

Truth is as hard as adamant and tender as a blossom.
