I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

Nonviolence or soul force does not need physical aids for its propagation of effect.

Unless nonviolence of the strong is really developed among us, there should be no thought of civil disobedience for Swaraj, whether within the states or in British India.

Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.

... we have to learn to use that force (love) among all that lives, and in the use of it consists our knowledge of God. Where there is love there is life; hatred leads to destruction.

... when all violence subsides in the human heart, the state which remains is love. It is not something we have to acquire; it is always present, and needs only to be uncovered. This is our real nature, not merely to love one person here, another there, but to be love itself.

My soul refuses to be satisfied so long as it is a helpless witness of a single wrong or a single misery.
