I hold that without truth and nonviolence there can be nothing but destruction of humanity.

Courtesy towards opponents and eagerness to understand their view-point is the ABC of non-violence.

My greatest weapon is mute prayer.

Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul.

My patriotism is not an exclusive thing. It is all embracing. The conception of my patriotism is nothing if it is not always, in every case, without exception, consistent with the broadest good of humanity at large.

The bravery of the nonviolent is vastly superior to that of the violent.

There's enough on this planet for everyone's needs but not for everyone's greed.
