Non-co-operation and civil disobedience are but different branches of the same tree called satyagraha.

Hinduism is a living organism liable to growth and decay subject to the laws of Nature. One and indivisible at the root, it has grown into a vast tree with innumerable branches. The changes in the season affect it. It has its autumn and its summer, its winter and its spring. It is, and is not, based on scriptures. It does not derive its authority from one book. Non violence has found the highest expression and application in Hinduism.

Love has more force than a besieging army.

Those who have their hands dyed deep in blood cannot build a nonviolent order for the world.

For me patriotism is the sme as humanity. I am patriotic because I am human and humane. It is not exclusive. I will not hurt England or Germany to serve India . . . My patriotism is inclusive and admits of no enmity or ill-will.

The greatest menace to the world today is the growing, exploiting, irresponsible imperialism.

To bear all kinds of tortures without a murmur of resentment is not possible for a human being without the strength that comes from God.
