A person who believes in nonviolence believes in a living God. He cannot accept defeat.

The truth is that God is the force. He is the essence of life. He is pure and undefiled consciousness. He is eternal.

God is the shield of the nonviolent.

Let our first act each morning be the following resolve: I shall not fear anyone on Earth. I shall fear only God.

I believe it to be perfectly possible for an individual to adopt the way of life of the future. . . without having to wait for others to do so.

Cowardice is not a sign of belief in God.

To yield to the threat or actual use of violence is a surrender of one's self respect and religious conviction.
