I believe in the capacity of India to offer nonviolent battle to the English rulers.

It is my unmistakable belief that not a blade of grass moves but by the divine will.

The principle of ahimsa is hurt by every evil thought, by undue haste, by lying, by hatred, by wishing ill to anybody.

Nonviolence and cowardice go ill together.

A policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be pursued with apostolic zeal.

If they are truly nonviolent, they must also realize that civil disobedience is an impossibility till the preliminary work of construction is done.

Mutual tolerance is a necessity for all time and for all races.
