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

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.

Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.

But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.
