To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.

Truth is what the voice within tells you.

Real non-co-operation is non-co-operation with evil and not with the evil-doer.

If all were nonviolent, there would be no anarchy and there would be no question of anybody being armed for meeting aggression from without.

Complete independence through truth and non-violence means the independence of every unit, be it the humblest of the nation, without distinction of race, colour or creed.

The function of violence is to obtain reform by external means, the function of passive resistance, that is, soul-force, is to obtain it by growth from within, which, in its turn, is obtained by self-suffering, self-purification.

The unlimited capacity of the plant world to sustain man at his highest is a region as yet unexplored by modern science.
