Permanent good can never be the outcome of untruth and violence

Every affliction has its own rich lesson to teach, if we would learn it.

Civil disobedience is not only the natural right of a people, especially when they have no effective voice in their own Government, but that it is also a substitute for violence or armed rebellion.

Since satyagraha is a method of conversion and conviction, it seeks never to use the slightest coercion.

At the centre of nonviolence is a force which is self-acting.
