I know that I have still before me a difficult path to traverse. I must reduce myself to zero. So long as a man does not of his own free will put himself last among his fellow creatures, there is no salvation for him. Ahimsa is the farthest limit of humility.

The attainment of national independence is to me a search for truth.

India unarmed would not require to be destroyed through poison gas or bombardment.

A satyagrahi is dead to his body even before the enemy attempts to kill him.

My shyness has been in reality my shield and buckler. It has allowed me to grow. It has helped me in my discernment of truth.

A faith gained in strength only when people were willing to lay down their lives for it.

Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.
