As the State is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence.

When untouchability is rooted out, these distinctions will vanish and no one will consider himself superior to any other.

If untouchability lives, Hinduism perishes and even India perishes, but if untouchability is eradicated from the Hindu heart, root and branch, then Hinduism has a definite message for the world.

That nonviolence which only an individual can use is not of much use in terms of society.

An error can never become true however many times you repeat it. The truth can never be wrong, even if no one hears it.

For a non-violent person the whole world is one family. He will thus fear none, nor will others fear him.

A country whose culture is based on nonviolence will find it necessary to have every home as much self-contained as possible.
