Fasting is futile unless it is accompanied by an incessant longing for self-restraint.

Rights that do not flow from duty well performed are not worth having.

There is no one without faults, not even men of God. They are men of God not because they are faultless, but because they know their faults, they strive against them, they do not hide them, and are ever ready to correct themselves.

I think it is wrong to expect certainties in this world, where all else but God that is Truth is an uncertainty. All that appears and happens about and around us is uncertain, transient. But there is a Supreme Being hidden therein as a Certainty, and one would be blessed if one could catch a glimpse of that Certainty and hitch one's waggon to it. The quest for that Truth is the summum bonum of life.

Perfect nonviolence is difficult. It admits to no weakness.

I hold that the world is sick of armed rebellions.
