The Khaddar of my conception is that handspun cloth entirely takes the place of mill cloth in India.

I came to the conclusion long ago . . . that all religions were true, and also that all had some error in them.

Nonviolence being the mightiest force in the world and also the most elusive in its working, demands the greatest exercise of faith.

After long study and experience, I have come to the conclusion that (1) all religions are true; (2) all religions have some error in them; (3) all religions are almost as dear to me as my own Hinduism, in as much as all human beings should be as dear to one as one's own close relatives.

Joy lies in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in the victory itself

We want to go in for suffering, and there may be torture. If we put the women in front the Government may hesitate to inflict on us all the penalty that they might otherwise inflict.

The concepts of truth may differ. But all admit and respect truth. That truth I call God. For sometime I was saying, "God is Truth," but that did not satisfy me. So now I say, "Truth is God."
