Since the propagation of nonviolence is the mission of my life, I must pursue it in all weathers.

I would rather have India reduced to a state of pauperism than have thousands of drunkards in our midst.

When there is no desire for fruit, there is also no temptation for untruth or himsa.

Take care of this moment.

Evil is, good or truth misplaced.

Breach of promise is a base surrender of truth.

Complete non-violence is complete absence of ill-will against all that lives. It therefore embraces even sub-human life, not excluding noxious insects and beasts. They have not been created to feed our destructive propensities. If we only knew the mind of the Creator, we should find their proper place in His creation.
