Nonviolence requires great patience.

There is nothing on earth that I would not give up, excepting of course, two things and two things only, truth and nonviolence.

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.

There is no principle worth the name if it is not wholly good.

Active nonviolence is necessary for those who will offer civil disobedience but the will and proper training are enough for the people to co-operate with those who are chosen for civil disobedience.

My freedom from hatred - I would even claim for myself individually, my love - for those who consider themselves to be my enemies, does not make me blind to their faults.

The end of nonviolent 'war' is always an agreement, never dictation, much less humiliation of the opponent.
