People in a democracy should be satisfied with drawing the Government's attention to a mistake, if any.

For thousands to do to death a few hundreds is no bravery. It is worse than cowardice. It is unworthy of nationalism, of any religion.

A little of true nonviolence acts in a silent, subtle, unseen way and leavens the whole society.

If what passed as nonviolence does not enable people to protect the honour of women, or if it does not enable women to protect their own honour, it is not nonviolence.

Nonviolence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice - nonviolence springs from love, cowardice from hate.

Why worry one's head over a thing that is inevitable? Why die before one's death?

India as a nation can live and die only for the spinning wheel.
