My knowledge of the letter of the Shastras is better, but of true religion they are able to give me but little.

Non-co-operation in the political field is an extension of the doctrine as it is practised in the domestic field.

Those who are truthful, nonviolent and brave do not cease to be so because of the stupidity of their leader.

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior.

If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?
