What kind of victory is it when someone is left defeated? What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy. What is a war criminal? Was not war itself a crime against God and humanity, and, therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered and conducted wars, war criminals? The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Non-cooperation with evil is a sacred duty.

True ahimsa lay in running into the mouth of himsa.

I know that I can never be alone as God is there with me.

No perfect democracy is possible without perfect nonviolence at the back of it.

Humankind has to get out of violence only through non-violence. Hatred can be overcome only by love. Counter - hatred only increases the surface as well as the depth of hatred.

Nonviolent non-co-operation with evil means co-operation with all that is good.

My errors have been errors of calculation and judging men, not in appreciating the true nature of truth and ahimsa or in their application.
