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

In times to come people will not judge us by the creed we profess or the label we wear or the slogans we shout, but, by our work, industry, sacrifice, honesty and purity of character.

No religion which is narrow and which cannot satisfy the test of reason, will survive the coming reconstruction of society in which the values will have changed and character, not possession of wealth, title or birth, will be the test of merit.

Ahimsa is an attribute of the brave. Cowardice and ahimsa don't go together any more that water and fire.

All my experiments in Ahimsa have taught me that nonviolence in practice means common labour with the body.

Like the watch, the heart needs the winding of purity, or the Dweller ceases to speak.

The only way Hinduism can convert the whole world to cow-protection is by giving an object-lesson in cow-protection and all it means.
