Carrying arms for the removal of the Arms Act can never fall under any scheme of nonviolence.

A good person will resist an evil system with his whole soul. Disobedience of the laws of an evil state is therefore a duty.

When untouchability is rooted out, these distinctions will vanish and no one will consider himself superior to any other.

In the secret of my heart I am in perpetual quarrel with God that He should allow such things [as the war] to go on. My non-violence seems almost impotent. But the answer comes at the end of the daily quarrel that neither God nor non-violence is impotent. Impotence is in men. I must try on without losing faith even though I may break in the attempt.

Proved right should be capable of being vindicated by right means as against the rude i.e. sanguinary means. Man may and should shed his own blood for establishing what he considers to be his right. He may not shed the blood of his opponent who disputes his 'right'.

It has often occurred to me that a seeker after truth has to be silent.

If you want to change the world, start with yourself.
