In Hinduism we have got an admirable foot-rule to measure every shastra and every rule of conduct, and that is truth.

Never has man reached his destination by persistence in deviation from the straight path.

Had we adopted non-violence as the weapon of the strong, because we realised that it was more effective than any other weapon, in fact the mightiest force in the world, we would have made use of its full potency and not have discarded it as soon as the fight against the British was over or we were in a position to wield conventional weapons. But as I have already said, we adopted it out of our helplessness. If we had the atom bomb, we would have used it against the British.

No sophistry, no jugglery in figures can explain away the evidence that the skeletons in many villages present to the naked eye.

It is difficult for me to regard anyone who obeys no moral principle in his conduct to be a religious man.

Dining and marriage restrictions stunt Hindu society.

For us, patriotism is the same as the love of humanity.
