India is less manly under the British rule than she ever was before.

India's way is not Europe's. India is not Calcutta and Bombay. India lives in her seven hundred thousand villages.

To forgive and accept injustice is cowardice.

I believe that cunning is not only morally wrong but also politically expedient, and have therefore always discountenanced its use even from the practical standpoint.

I would rather have India reduced to a state of pauperism than have thousands of drunkards in our midst.

My errors have been errors of calculation and judging men, not in appreciating the true nature of truth and ahimsa or in their application.

The good man is the friend of all living things.
