I claim to be no more than an average man with below average capabilities.

To me God is truth and love, God is ethics and morality, God is fearlessness.

Even if masses of people were to burn khadi publicly and say that it is an insane programme, I will declare that those people have gone mad.

It is wonderful, if we chose the right diet, what an extraordinarily small quantity would suffice.

It is better to allow our lives to speak for us than our words. God did not bear the cross only two thousand years ago. He bears it today, and he dies and is resurrected from day to day. It would be a poor comfort to the world if it had to depend on a historical God who died two thousand years ago. Do not, then, preach the God of history, but show him as he lives today through you.

Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.

Infinite striving to be the best is man's duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God's hands.
