I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and that also that all had some error in them, and while I hold by my own religion, I should hold other religions as dear as Hinduism. So we can only pray, if we were Hindus, not that a Christian should become a Hindu; but our innermost prayer should be that a Hindu should become a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, and a Christian a better Christian.

Prayer has been the saviour of my life. Without it I should have been a lunatic long ago.

Nonviolence is a universal principle and its operation is not limited by a hostile environment.

Doubt is invariably the result of want or weakness of faith.

As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it.

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.

When you practice a life of non-violence you no longer need seek the truth, the truth finds you.
