Speak only if it improves upon the silence.

Nonviolence is an unchangeable creed. It has to be pursued even in face of violence raging around you.

The inner voice is something which cannot be described in words. But sometimes we have a positive feeling that something in us prompts us to do a certain thing. The time when I learnt to recognise this voice was, I may say, the time when I started praying regularly.

Insistence on truth can come into play when one party practices untruth or injustice. Only then can love be tested. True friendship is put to the test only when one party disregards the obligation of friendship.

If love or non-violence be not the law of our being, the whole of my argument falls to pieces.

The idol in the temple is not God. But since God resides in every atom, He resides in that idol too.

Unless you go on discovering new applications of the law of nonviolence, you do not profit by it.
