Perfection is the exclusive attribute of God, and it is indescribable, untranslatable. I do believe that it is possible for human beings to become perfect, even as God is perfect. It is necessary for all of us to aspire after that perfection but when that blessed state is attained, it become indescribable, indefinable.

Non-violence ... is the only thing that the atom bomb cannot destroy. I did not move a muscle when I first heard that the atom bomb had wiped out Hiroshima. On the contrary, I said to myself, Unless now the world adopts non-violence, it will spell certain suicide for mankind.

Love has more force than a besieging army.

Intolerance, discourtesy and harshness..... are taboo in all good society and are surely contrary to the spirit of democracy.

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

A man like me cannot but believe that this earthquake is a divine chastisement sent by God for our sins.

If we had the atom bomb, we would have used it against the British.
