The science of war leads one to dictatorship, pure and simple. The science of non-violence alone can lead one to pure democracy. Power based on love is thousand times more effective and permanent than power derived from fear of punishment. It is a blasphemy to say non-violence can be practiced only by individuals and never by nations which are composed of individuals. The nearest approach to purest anarchy would be a democracy based on non-violence. A society organized and run on the basis of complete non-violence would be the purest anarchy.

Modern civilization has taught us to convert night into day and golden silence into brazen din and noise.

For me every ruler is alien that defies public opinion.

I once Experimented with marijuna, next thing I know I'm waking up with blood on my hands.......and not my own blood.

The right to err, which means the freedom to try experiments, is the universal condition of all progress.

Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed. It has to be pursued even in face of violence raging around you.

Spiritual force is like any other force at the service of man.
