There is nothing that wastes the body like worry.

I have been repeating over and over again that he who cannot protect himself or his nearest and dearest or their honour by non-violently facing death may and ought to do so by violently dealing with the oppressor.

He must either hide himself, or must rest content to live for ever in helplessness and be prepared to crawl like a worm at the bidding of a bully.

Punishment is God's. He alone is the infallible Judge.

It is weakness which breeds fear, and fear breeds distrust.
