If it weren't for Christians, I'd be a Christian.

I want for India complete independence in the full English sense of that English term.

My heart is drawn backwards and forwards between the spinning wheel and books.

Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. Non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. Non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. Non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. Perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. Non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.

The removal of untouchability is a question of the purification of Hinduism.

Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.

My love for nonviolence is superior to every other thing, mundane or super mundane.
