What is truth? A difficult question; but I have solved it for myself by saying that it is what the 'voice within' tells you.

I care so deeply about this matter that I'm willing to take on the legal penalties, to sit in this prison cell, to sacrifice my freedom, in order to show you how deeply I care. Because when you see the depth of my concern, and how civil I am in going about this, you're bound to change your mind about me, to abandon your rigid, unjust position, and to let me help you see the truth of my cause.

I want India to come into her own and that state cannot be better defined by any single word than Swaraj.

The lives of Zoroaster, Jesus and Mohammed, as I have understood them, have illumined many a passage in the Gita.

It's more important to put the own heart in the prayer than to put other's words with nothing of the own heart.

What kind of victory is it when someone is left defeated? What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy. What is a war criminal? Was not war itself a crime against God and humanity, and, therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered and conducted wars, war criminals? The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Non-cooperation with evil is a sacred duty.

Destruction of the churches and the like is not the way to Swaraj as defined by the Congress.
