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

It is the duty of a non-co-operator to preach disaffection towards the existing order of things. Non-co-operators are but giving disciplined expression to a nation's outraged feelings.

Man easily capitulates when sin is presented in the garb of virtue.
