To a people famishing and idle, the only acceptable form in which God can dare appear is work and promise of food as wages.

To me Truth is God and there is no way to find Truth except the way of nonviolence.

I have in my life never been guilty of saying things I did not mean - my nature is to go straight to the heart and if often I fail in doing so for the time being, I know that Truth ultimately makes itself heard and felt, as it has often done in my experience.

No nation being under another nation can accept gifts, and kick at the responsibility attached to those gifts, imposed by the conquering nation.

Faith is the function of the heart.

That religion and that nation will be blotted out of the face of the earth which pins its faith on injustice, untruth or violence.

I would heartily welcome the union of East and West provided it is not based on brute force.
