Animal experimentation is the blackest of all the black crimes that a man is at present committing... We should be able to refuse to live if the price of living be the torture of sentient beings... I abhor [animal] experimentation with my whole soul. All the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood I count as of no consequence... The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.

Khadi service, village service and Harijan service are one in reality, though three in name.

Forgive and forget, but never forget to forgive. You may find a happier heart is the key to a happier life.

There are many causes I would die for. There is not a single cause I would kill for.

As the means, so the end.

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