If India adopted the doctrine of love as an active part of her religion and introduced it in her politics. Swaraj would descend upon India from heaven. But I am painfully aware that that event is far off as yet.

Simplicity is the essence of universality.

Moral restrictions tend to become lax in a foreign country, since the fear of social opinion disappears.

When you want to find Truth as God, the only inevitable means is love, that is nonviolence.

God is not a Power residing in the clouds. He is an unseen Power residing within us and nearer to us than finger nails to the flesh.

Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed. It has to be pursued even in face of violence raging around you.

No sophistry, no jugglery in figures can explain away the evidence that the skeletons in many villages present to the naked eye.
