I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

Mass illiteracy is India's sin and shame and must be liquidated.

The votaries of nonviolence cannot harbour violence even in thought, let alone the question of doing it.

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

I would beseech you not only to be pure beyond suspicion but I would ask you to combine with stainless purity, great wisdom and great ability.

Whatever one does cheerfully is good for health.

I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
