Hinduism is like the Ganga, pure and unsullied at its source but taking in its course the impurities in the way. Even like the Ganga it is beneficent in its total effect. It takes a provincial form in every province, but the inner substance is retained everywhere.

The only tyrant I accept in this world is the still voice within.

A satyagrahi has always his minimum and it is this minimum that is wanted in connection with this struggle.

Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.

A nonviolent system of government is clearly an impossibility so long as the wide gulf between the rich and the hungry millions persists.
