In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.

I cannot in all conscience agree to anyone being sent to the gallows. God alone can take life because He alone gives it . . .

Nonviolence is a quality not of the body but of the soul.

God alone is immortal, imperishable.

All satyagraha and fasting is a species of tyaga. It depends for its effects upon an expression of wholesome public opinion shorn of all bitterness.

Reason has to be strengthened by suffering, and suffering opens the eyes of understanding.

Salvation of the Gita is perfect peace.
