But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.

The greater the realization of truth and ahimsa, the greater the illumination.

If there was any teacher in the world who insisted upon the inexorable law of cause and effect, it was Gautam, and yet my friends, the Buddhists outside India, would, if they could, avoid the effects of their own acts.

Nonviolent action without the co-operation of the heart and the head cannot produce the intended result.

If you don't find God in the next person you meet, it is a waste of time looking for him further.

Nonviolence is the rock on which the whole structure of non-co-operation is built.

I shall, of course, die with nonviolence on my lips.
