The cause is everything. Those even who are dearest to us must be shunted for the sake of the cause.

The weapon of nonviolence does not need supermen or superwomen to wield it; even beings of common clay can use it and have used it before this with success.

Coal is not dear for the coal-miner who can use it there and then, nor is khadi dear for the villager who manufactures his own khadi.

If God is not a personal being for me like my earthly father, He is infinitely more.

I cannot picture to myself a time when all mankind will have one religion.

To me, God is Truth and Love; God is ethics and morality: God is fearlessness. God is the source of Light and Life and yet He is above and beyond all these. God is conscience... He is a personal God to those who need His personal presence. He is embodied to those who need His touch. He is the purest essence. He simply is to those who have faith. He is all things to all men.

Legal imposition avoids the necessity of honour or good faith.
