All my actions have their rise in my inalienable love of mankind.

Freedom received though the efforts of others, however benevolent, cannot be retained when such effort is withdrawn.

Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.

Animal experimentation is the blackest of all the black crimes that a man is at present committing... We should be able to refuse to live if the price of living be the torture of sentient beings... I abhor [animal] experimentation with my whole soul. All the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood I count as of no consequence... The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

As the State is a soulless machine, it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence.

Temple going is for the purification of the soul.

A devotee of Rama may be said to be the same as the steadfast one (sthitaprajnya) of the Gita.
