Truth and non-violence are not cloistered virtues but applicable as much in the forum and the legislatures as in the market place.

My life is dedicated to the service of Indians through the religion of nonviolence which I believe to be the root of Hinduism.

Buddha renounced every worldly happiness because he wanted to share with the whole world his happiness which was to be had by men who sacrificed and suffered in the search for truth.

The beauty of poetry is that the creation transcends the poet.

We have to be the change we want in the world.

I shall never know God if I do not wrestle with and against evil, even at the cost of life itself.

I would rather have India without education, if that is the price to be paid for making it dry.
