Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

I still somehow or other fancy that "my philosophy" represents the true meaning of the teaching of the Gita.

Democracy, disciplined and enlightened, is the finest thing in the world.

I cannot picture to myself a time when all mankind will have one religion.

Faith is a kind of sixth sense which works in cases which are without the purview of reason.

The weapon of nonviolence does not need supermen or superwomen to wield it; even beings of common clay can use it and have used it before this with success.

The science of war leads one to dictatorship, pure and simple. The science of non-violence alone can lead one to pure democracy. Power based on love is thousand times more effective and permanent than power derived from fear of punishment. It is a blasphemy to say non-violence can be practiced only by individuals and never by nations which are composed of individuals. The nearest approach to purest anarchy would be a democracy based on non-violence. A society organized and run on the basis of complete non-violence would be the purest anarchy.
