I came to the conclusion long ago . . . that all religions were true, and also that all had some error in them.

Love and ahimsa are matchless in their effect.

A nation that is unfit to fight cannot, from experience, prove the virtue of not fighting.

If I were asked to define the Hindu creed, I should simply say: search after Truth through non-violent means. Hinduism is a relentless pursuit after truth.

It is not that I do not get angry. I don't give vent to my anger. I cultivate the quality of patience as angerlessness, and generally speaking, I succeed. But I only control my anger when it comes. How I find it possible to control it would be a useless question, for it is a habit that everyone must cultivate and must succeed in forming by constant practice.

It is a first class human tragedy that people of the earth who claim to believe in the message of Jesus, whom they describe as the Prince of Peace, show little of that belief in actual practice.

You can return blow for blow if you are not brave enough to follow the path of nonviolence.
