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

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God's hands.

The turning of the charkha in a lifeless way will be like the turning of the beads of the rosary with a wandering mind turned away from God.

I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.

Where love is, there God is also.

No labour is too mean for one who wants to earn an honest penny.
