A votary of ahimsa always prays for ultimate deliverance from the bondage of the flesh.

The highest truth needs no communicating, for it is by its very nature self-propelling. It radiates its influence silently as the rose its fragrance without the intervention of a medium.

Restraint never ruins one's health. What ruins it,is not restraint but outward suppression. A really self-restrained person grows every day from strength to strength and from peace to more peace. The very first step in self-restraint is the restraint of thoughts.

My creed of nonviolence does not favour the punishment of thieves and dacoits and even murderers.

In the East, as in the West, newspapers are fast becoming people's Bible, Koran, Zend-Avesta and Gita all rolled into one.

The meticulous care for the rights of the least among us is the sin qua non of nonviolence.

I can no more preach nonviolence to a cowardly man than I can tempt a blind man to enjoy healthy scenes.
