None, while in flesh, can be entirely free from himsa, because one never completely renounces the will to live.

Ahimsa is no mere theory with me, but it is a fact of life based on extensive experience.

Restraint never ruins one's health. What ruins it,is not restraint but outward suppression. A really self-restrained person grows every day from strength to strength and from peace to more peace. The very first step in self-restraint is the restraint of thoughts.

A nation that is capable of limitless sacrifice is capable of rising to limitless heights. The purer the sacrifice the quicker the progress.

Civil disobedience can only lead to strength and purity.

To say that God permits evil in the world may not be pleasing to the ear. But if He is held responsible for the good, it follows that He has to be responsible for the evil too.

Unless the charkha adds to your ahimsa and makes you stronger every day, your Gandhism is of little avail.
