What I call the law of satyagraha is to be deduced from an appreciation of duties and rights flowing therefrom.

A democrat must be utterly selfless. He must think and dream not in terms of self or of party, but only of democracy.

It would be a blunder of the first magnitude for the British to be a party, in any way whatsoever, to the division of India.

For satyagraha and its offshoots, non-co-operation and civil resistance, are nothing but new names for the law of suffering.

If you want to play your part in the world's affairs, you must refuse to deck yourselves for pleasing man.

See the good in people and help them.

Democracy disciplined and enlightened is the finest thing in the world. A democracy prejudiced, ignorant, superstitious, will land itself in chaos and may be self-destroyed.
