When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.

Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly.

There is no god greater than truth.

The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.

A smattering of English is worse than useless; it is an unnecessary tax on our women.

I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonour. But I believe that nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment.

There is no road to freedom, freedom is the road.
