My respectful study of other religions has not abated my reverence for or my faith in the Hindu scriptures.

I claim to have been a lifelong and wholly disinterested friend of the British people.

A genuine satyagraha should never excite contempt in the opponent even when it fails to command regard or respect.

There is no time limit for a satyagrahi nor is there a limit to his capacity for suffering.

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.

I believe in God, not as a theory but as a fact more real than life itself.

The human body is meant solely for service, never for indulgence.
