Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.

God is the hardest taskmaster I have known on this earth, and he tries you through and through. And when you find that your faith is failing or your body is failing you, and you are sinking, he comes to your assistance somehow or other and proves to you that you must not lose your faith and that he is always at your beck and call, but on his terms, not on your terms. So I have found. I cannot really recall a single instance when, at the eleventh hour, he has forsaken me.

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

If the English educated neglect, as they have done and even now continue, as some do, to be ignorant of their mother tongue, linguistic starvation will abide.

There is force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results.

If you have faith in the cause and the means and in God, the hot sun will be cool for you.

The weapon of nonviolence does not need supermen or superwomen to wield it; even beings of common clay can use it and have used it before this with success.
