I call the Lancashire trade immoral, because it was raised and is sustained on the ruin of millions of India's peasants.

Let India become alive by self-purification, that is self-restraint and self-denial, and she will be a boon to herself and mankind.

Bullies are always to be found where there are cowards.

Nonviolence to be worth anything has to work in the face of hostile forces.

Real suffering bravely borne, melts even a heart of stone. Such is the potency of suffering. And there lies the key to Satyagraha.

Let the villages of the future live in our imagination, so that we might one day come to live in them!

The force generated by nonviolence is infinitely greater than the force of all the arms created by man's ingenuity.
