Those who are truthful, nonviolent and brave do not cease to be so because of the stupidity of their leader.

A fearless woman who knows that her purity is her best shield can never be dishonoured.

Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something. You disturb the air as you go forward, you disturb the dust, the ground. You trample upon things. When a whole society moves forward, this trampling is on a much bigger scale; and each thing that you disturb, each vested interest which you want to remove, stands as an obstacle.

Seek ye first the Charkha and its concomitants and everything else will be added unto you.

Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.

I came alone in this world, I have walked alone in the valley of the shadow of death, and I shall quit alone when the time comes.

If you love peace, then hate injustice, hate tyranny, hate greed � but hate these things in yourself, not in another.
