Nonviolence becomes meaningless if violence is permitted for self-defence.

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Faith is a function of the heart.

Disorder and violence are, in fact, things that might check the pace of India's progress.

My Hinduism teaches me to respect all religions. In this lies the secret of Ramarajya.

The nonviolence I teach is active nonviolence of the strongest. But the weakest can partake in it without becoming weaker.
