I own no enemy on earth. That is my creed.

Compassion is a muscle that gets stronger with use.

My nationalism is as broad as my swadeshi, I want India's rise so that the whole world may benefit.

A personal selfish prayer is bad whether made before an image or an unseen God.

Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she does not realize what a tremendous advantage she has over man. As Tolstoy used to say, they are laboring under the hypnotic influence of man. If they would realize the strength of non-violence they would not consent to be called the weaker sex.

Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right.

There goes my people. I must follow them, for I am their leader.
