The truth is that cowardice itself is violence of a subtle type and therefore dangerous and far more difficult to eradicate than the habit of physical violence.

Nonviolence is an active force of the highest order. It is soul force or the power of the godhead within us.

A man or a woman who serves the country with all his or her heart stands on par with the tallest Congress-man.

This civilization is such that one has only to be patient and it will be self-destroyed.

A scavenger who works in His service shares equal distinction with a king who uses his gifts in His name and is a mere trustee.

The votaries of nonviolence cannot harbour violence even in thought, let alone the question of doing it.

Nonviolence is a plant of slow growth, it grows imperceptibly but surely.
