A slave has not the freedom even to do the right thing.

My implicit faith in nonviolence does mean yielding to minorities when they are really weak.

Economic equality of my conception does not mean that every one will literally have the same amount.

I cannot picture to myself a time when all mankind will have one religion.

People say true friends must always hold hands, but true friends don't need to hold hands because they know the other hand will always be there.

Every widow I have met has recognized in the wheel a dear forgotten friend.

Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. Non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. Non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. Non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. Perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. Non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.
