I have recognized that the nation has the right, if it so wills, to vindicate her freedom even by actual violence.

Experience gained in two schools under my control has taught me that punishment does not purify, if anything, it hardens children.

Non-cooperatio n with evil is a sacred duty.

There is no god greater than truth.

Non-cooperation is an attempt to awaken the masses, to a sense of their dignity and power. This can only be done by enabling them to realise that they need not fear brute force, if they but know the soul within.

A prayerful study and experience are essential for a correct interpretation of the scriptures.

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