All good thoughts and ideas mean nothing without action

I do not want India to rise on the ruin of other nations.

I am not fighting machinery as such, but the madness of thinking that machinery saves labor. Men save labor until thousands of them are without work and die of hunger on the streets. I want to secure employment and livelihood not only to part of the human race, but for all. I will not have the enrichment of a few at the expense of the community. At present the machine is helping a small minority to live on the exploitation of the masses. The motive force of this minority is not humanity or love of their kind, but greed and avarice.

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."

Every moment of my life I realize that God is putting me on my trial.

The collectors of revenue and the policeman are the only symbols by which millions in India's villages know British rule.

A true Brahmachari will not even dream of satisfying the fleshly appetite
