I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.

The man or the woman who can display the nonviolence of the brave can easily stand against as external invasion.

Strictly speaking, no activity and no industry is possible without a certain amount of violence, no matter how little. Even the very process of living is impossible without a certain amount of violence. What we have to do is to minimize it to the greatest extent possible.

Adaptability is not imitation. It means power of resistance and assimilation.

You may think your actions are meaningless and that they won't help, but that is no excuse, you must still act.

My religion teaches me that a promise once made or a vow once taken for a worthy object may not be broken.

A thousand candles can be lighted from the flame of one candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness can be spread without diminishing that of yourself.
